No, we just don't like bland food.

she's english, everything has to be either boiled or deep fried.

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

They at least need butter or roast beef gravy

Butter in the mashed potato sure, otherwise the consistancy isn't great.

No, we just don't like bland food.

Nothing bland about not attacking your tastebuds with a load of shit. It's the subtleties in food that make it gastronomique, not piling shit loads of everything you possibly can on top of each other. A potato is a potato, it has it's own unique and wonderful taste, why not let it taste like a potato?

Silly Americans.

a potato is not a potato. there are many different kinds of potatoes of varying tastes and textures.

...and yet when you pile shit on top of them this becomes irrelevant because your tastebuds are overloaded.

Yes, my tastebuds are so awful they need an overload of bacon and cheese and cream and pork and turkey gravy and fat to go on top of potatoes just so I can taste something.

That's definitely a sign of a defective palate on my behalf.

 

[JAXvillain]

a potato by itself is about the most bland thing on earth. saying there are subtleties and nuances we're missing simply because you enjoy the taste of wall paper paste is a total crock

people have been piling stuff on potatoes for years. cheese on gratins, ketchup or mayo on fries, sauces on gnocchi...this isn't a new thing.

Are you for real? Like seriously?

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

And yet for many, many years they've left potatoes alone as well. I guess some of the finest chefs in the world know jack about taste though seeing as they're happy to not pile shit on their potatoes. Weird.

do you cook your potatoes? Why not just eat it raw, and enjoy that clean potato taste? No salt allowed either, heaven forbid we accentuate any flavours.

 

[JAXvillain]

famous chefs never season potatoes. nope, never.

I see you class seasoning as 'piling loads of shit on top'.

Really???

 

[JAXvillain]

where did I say anything remotely like that? right, I didn't.

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

So please explain to me what seasoning has to do with the price of fish. I'd love to hear why you think salt and pepper has any bearing on this discussion.

seasoning them is not "leaving them alone"

 

[tre]

can we talk about sweet potatoes as well? I'm a fan.

 

[tre]

seriously, they're fucking potatoes, eat them how ever you like.

 

[tre]

as long as it's not one of those fucking kfc bowls abominations.

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

In phillistine terms yes, in cooking terms no.
