FOOD Sorry, but Potatoes May Soon No Longer Be Considered a Vegetable

"In my world petite appetizers and snacks are small insects, main course meals are plump adult specimens, and desserts
are sweet, juicy bugs that make antennae twitch, but not too many to cause bottom itch. Don't ask me how I know this."​

Tomatoes aren't a veggie either - they are a fruit

This

 

[Bumblepuff]

This​

This or that. Maybe this one. No, maybe that one? Brennbee is experiencing an existential crisis in his imagination. An
avocado is a fruit, and a tomato is a fruit, but Brennbee wants a vegetable. Can these fruits change their very substance
to meet with his expectations? One has a hard rind and a large hard seed while the other is soft and pliable, yet weak.
If what you eat is an inner reflection of your base instincts, then why does Brennbee feel the urge to cast this avocado
at the obese stock clerk bending over to tie her rainbow booties? Is this something subliminal which Brennbee cannot
control? This must be resolved soon, because he needs to tinkle and must enter the men's restroom, a narrow haunted
chamber of horror, a dungeon of dung and repressed desires. No, Brennbee can do this. He will surmount his fears and
transform into... Avocado Man! Yes, Brennbee can now withstand smirks and snorts from other males to face the urinal!​

I don’t give a rats squat what a bureaucrat wants to call a potato. Bureaucrats are useless eaters that metabolize and expell toxic gases into our atmosphere. In the end they contribute nothing and only take.
Peas are fruit. Yeah it is that kind of day.

This is a response to the fact that they can't fix poor eating habits. They can however fix it so restaurants and fast food joints are forced to offer healthier options.

Remember when Ronnie Raygun declared ketchup a vegetable? Nutty dems aren’t the only ones that do stupid things.

"Well, there you go again. For years I thought my son was a fruit, and Nancy said he was the apple of her eye but I was
bananas. As a matter of fact, Ronnie is the reason why Nancy's famous anti-drug message came about. After I pestered
my son for months if he was gay, Nancy told him to Just Say No! And it worked, mostly because she threatened to pour
thousands of tiny Jelly Belly jelly beans down my throat until I gagged to death. But I still think ballet is as gay as heck."​

The potatoes I just had for dinner with my steak were great. (I did not ask their preferred race or gender, or even how they spelled themselves. I just ate them.)

 

[zeker]

Growing up dinner was always (substitute the meat of your choice) "We're having fried chicken and mashed potatoes what vegetable do you all want?" Love ya Mom.

mashed potatoes are the super food.

goes with everything

 

[zeker]

Scientifically, they ARE vegetables and contain some vitamins and minerals not found in grains. That is especially true of the old-fashioned varieties, the dark reds, purples, and Myan Golds. They are starchy vegetables, but reclassifying them as starch is nonsense.

cariboo potatoe is outlawed in Canada

one small farm group is preserving it.

recently, it has resurfaced

Now how do we get seeds or starter spuds?

Now how do we get seeds or starter spuds?

on their page, they have a contact info

I contacted them few weeks ago

when I first saw the article.

they have since, become inundated with requests.

the response I got was

"we will send 2-4 spuds free (for a small donation)"

I have NO prob sending small donation

to keep a spud alive that the TPTB deem 'unacceptable'

these folks are in british columbia canada.

irish potatoe famine comes to mind

when you eliminate diversity, (in agriculture, not people)

you become succeptable to being wiped out with 1 disease

not sure if they can send to USA?

"He added the Cariboo potato was also sensitive to sunlight, which would make the spuds go green if they were sitting on a supermarket shelf for long."

I have always planted my spuds and then covered the area with straw.

not only does it stop sunlight,

but it saves on watering

and I dont need to 'hill'

YMMV

Looks like it is a simple customs declaration. Canada grows 20% of the potatoes that we eat. I will lay odds that they have shipped to the US before so they should have an answer.

Potatoes are best kept in dark places, cool and a controlled humidity. Cellars, root cellars, places protected from sunlight and freezing. Regular checking to ensure the potatoes have not gone bad and isolating them as much as possible will preserve their lifetime use.



Here we see a properly stored potato. Except for the camera light, it is normally a dark, isolated place. It is a place where all potatoes look the same and it would be hard to tell which is which when you pull them out of the bin. But even in this ideal storage space we can begin to see the wilting mask of a moldy inside crossing the surface.

Claim: John Fetterman is an expertly trained chef who knows more than seven hundred
different recipes for potatoes and has earned many accolades for his culinary skills.

Fact Check: False. John Fetterman loves to scoop a huge mound of mashed potatoes on a
plate and then sculpt a towering volcano into which he pours steaming brown gravy to
create magnificent eruptions and lava flows streaming down its sides onto the tabletop,
his lap, and the floor. Sometimes he recreates the mighty blast of Krakatoa in which he
flings globs of mashed potatoes and gravy onto walls and the ceiling. Awesome to behold!​
