Can we talk about the humble potato?

[sdifox]

What's on the other side of those drapes? THC infused "potatoes"? hehe just kidding.

Na that is where human remains become ferterlizer.

 

[MongGrel]

For what ?

 

[sdifox]

Apparently you can make one litre of vodka with one kilo of potatoes. I am assuming water is added as well.

I'd read somewhere you can buy something cheap like Popov and run it through a Brita filter pitcher type thing and would be along the lines of Grey Goose, but got me.

Not something I've ever tried.

Unlikely. Key is distilling, filtering doesnt cost much.

Potato and vegetable pancakes. Korean style or Jewish style. Both are good.
Hash Browns
Mashed red potatoes boiled with the skin and garlic cloves.
Stake fries
Chopped up in Curry and rice (More like Oriental beef stew)
Potatoes are very versatile.

Mash them and bash them and put them in a stew.

Brita filters use carbon to absorb chlorine and chloramines. It removes the foul taste and smell from chlorine that tap water has to prevent bacteria growth.

So unless Popov has a chlorinated taste, or some other impurity that carbon will absorb it probably won't do much.

By the way try a temperature controlled TDS meter on the water before the Brita filter and after. The readings will be the same. It doesn't filter dissolved solids at all. You need an RO filter for that. You can get those meters for around $15-$20 online if you're interested in water quality.

Potatos are great. Mayne whats your fav way to eat them?

Nice big baked potato for me. Roll it in extra virgin olive oil, roll it in sea salt, drop it in the oven right on the rack, no tinfoil, for 75 mins. Sour cream, butter, bacon. Smiles.

That's how I eat mine. Works on regular baking potatoes or on sweet potatoes.

This right here is all of what the Irish had to eat and played a roll in the Great Famine.

Now with that, let me just put on my religious mask and say that God helps those that help themselves and God is sufficient.

Genesis 9:3

Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.


One more.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I like a potato with cheese and pickles.

And a million people just decided not to help themselves and staved to death instead.

 

[cbrunny]

i want to eat a potato now.

 

[John Connor]

A million people didn't have the sense to do what they should have done.

Just imagine the shit the first humans had to ordeal. Why did eating meat and shit get reduced to dairy, some grains and a damn shitty potato?

I often wonder if the North would have won the civil war if it weren't for all the Irish immigrants. I believe there was even an Irish regiment.

So let then eat cake? Those who were able to keave left.

 

[sdifox]

Leave, not keave.

The English have most of the posposibilty on the scale of the famine.

 

[John Connor]

No, not eat cake. It's just that I think about how the native Americans and other tribal groups knew the fundamental principal of "I give you all." and never even had to read what was long written down half way across the globe. It's like a physiologic deficiency within a populace. But humans move on, we learn & evolve. After all, that is our purpose; to learn. I read in a book (which will remain nameless since I would get tared & feathered) that we learn faster in this life than the next. Just something to contemplate. I like to keep an open mind.

Mash potatoes made via the Instant Pot are amazing.

Do you even read what you post? You are the one that mentioend the potatoe famine and then quoted scripture saying God help those that help themselves.

People have tested and confirmed the Brita filters improves the taste of shitty vodka - there's a Test Kitchen article out there somewhere.
