How do you like your potatoes?

[Not Matt]

baked, fried, boiled and turned in to pringles. There's no wrong way to eat a potato.

Do you want them raw?

I hope not, raw potatoes are poisonous and can actually lead to coma or even death if consumed in large enough quantities.

As for the topic at hand, my favourite potato-based foods are tied between fries and jacket potatoes, I particularly like the latter with some nice grated Cheddar cheese on top.

*spittake*

What, is that because of all the potassium and aresnic in them? Stupid potatoes... I'm never munching on you again...

But I like them baked. Wedges smell ew.

They're actually part of the nightshade family.

There's a legend that when potatoes were first brought to Europe from the new world, Sir Walter Raleigh gave some to the queen as a gift. The royal chefs had no idea what to do with them, so they used the leaves and threw out the tubers. Everyone got sick and potatoes were banned from the royal court! XD

Potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant are all nightshade.

In fact, last year they developed a plant that grows both potatoes and tomatoes.
