potatoes vs. rice vs. pasta

Potatoes.

Pasta is for fat and brown people
Rice is for brown and yellow people

Potatoes forever, mate.

Rice.

It can be processed into many forms. From noodles to chewy cakes. Not to mention rice wine, not the distilled kind, but the actual low alcohol content fermented rice is absolutely delicious.

You can't do the above with anything else in that picture.

fuckin rice
oh shit i love that shit

>>9064933
Ever heard of vodka m8? Ever heard of latkas? Anything rice can do potatoe can do and vice versa, especially since there are so many breeds for each.

>>9064924
Potatoes, I grow it at home and it can be made into many different kinds of foods. It also goes with everything.

>>9064949
Specifically mentioned "not distilled" still brings up vodka.

It's not

Pleb.

Ever had rice cakes bitch?

>>9064949

Nigger I can make sake with rice.

>>9064924
Potatoes for sure. They are very versatile even for a novice cook. This isn't even really a fair contest though.

>>9064924
Potatoes or shrimp.

Does pasta include bulghur and couscous? If so, then pasta.

>>9064924
Rice obviously.

>>9064960
Shrimp is particularly good too considering how expandable it is.

Though choice between pasta and rice

>>9064963

with Anon's alternatve rule, hands down wheat

Rice. Sushi alone is a good enough reason, a nice steaming hot bowl of basmati rice with curry and biryani are also excellent reasons.

>>9064930
You know that potatoes are indigenous to South America, right?

>>9064924
potatoes = rice > pasta

>>9064930
>Pasta is for day and brown people
Italy is neither fat or brown

>come at me bro

Rice > Potatoes >> Pasta

I'm white, but grew up in Hawaii, so rice for life. Potatoes are also cheap and versatile as fuck.

I feel like people who choose pasta are poorfags who can't cook. There are plenty of noodles that aren't pasta.

>Potatoes are easier to harvest
>Can thrive in hearty climates

>Are dense
>Can also be used as a battery.

>Do not need to be processed or >dehydrated like rice or pasta.

>Dont need to be "enriched"

>>9064924
Potatoes probably, I think there are diverse meals to prepare with just potatoes. They can also satisfy different cravings, like I could prepare fries if I felt in the mood for some fatty food.
That being said, I actually like rice the best out of those three.

>>9066027
I'm gonna cook through this whole list starting tomorrow, friend.

>>9064958
fucking weebs, pretending that sake isn't awful.

no quinoa option.


actually do like the stuff especially the red.


however since I'm Irish potatoes it is.

>>9066187
it's "cook with" not "grow like a fucking autistic bear grylls" question, anon

>>9066187
>Dont need to be "enriched"
whole grain flours don't need to be enriched either, but if you peeled all your potatoes they wouldn't be as nutritious

>>9064924
Surprised by the amount of people choosing rice over pasta? Why?

>>9066926
Pasta shouldn't even be in the running. Rice and potatoes are both more versatile.

>>9066926
Pasta is bulky and decadent.

Potato is versatile and tasty, not decadent like pasta.

Rice however, is just so fucking nourishing. I was born/raised in Louisiana and most of our classic dishes are made/served with rice. However, I'm dieting so I haven't been eating any rice. Just the occasional brown rice, but very rare. I feel so fucking malnourished...

>>9066958
>Rice however, is just so fucking nourishing. I was born/raised in Louisiana and most of our classic dishes are made/served with rice

I am in the same boat and would have to pick rice as well because of this. If it's good enough for the asians, right?

>>9066958
>born/raised in Louisiana

Sorry for that anon, but that should cause much more worry than not eating rice for a few months. You might as well have admitted you were from MS.

Pasta. I can't live without it.

Italian fried rice with little sauteed potato cubes in there = god tier starch combo

worst starch combo is potato chips and popcorn. do u feel me

Pasta

Spaghetti/angel hair/raviolii/rigatoni for life

Rice and potatoes are garbage

>>9064924
Definitely rice, by far the easiest of the 3 digest. pretty much can be eaten with anything as well

>>9066017
yeah, and they also don't eat pasta, dumbass

Maybe try the alfredo instead of the olive oil one.

>>9064924
Rice. I don't give a fuck about potatoes, and I love pasta, but rice is the fucking best.

You got that backwards homie.

Potatoe pasta is gnocchi.
Potatoe alcohol is vodka (which can then be gin and lots of other shit, even shochu)
Potatoe can be soup, souffle, and bread.
Potatoe can even be a kind of mochi.
Potatoe can be riced, to resemble rice, but better.

Yes, rice can be most of these things, but it doesn't easily make French fries, chips, or baked potatoe. It's easier to break down than build up, therefore potatoe is superior.

Bread

>>9064924
Potatoes. Most nutritious of the three and also I fucking love potatoes. Like pasta can be great with he right sauces and such, but potatoes need nothing.

>>9064924
Either potatoes or pasta, but If I had to choose, then I guess potatoes.

Who regularly eats rice?

>>9067299
I do. I would take it over potatoes any day because more interesting stuff goes with it. Pasta is a tougher call for me, but if I had to choose it would probably be rice.

I'm really confused why you people are picking potatoes.

Wouldn't you miss pasta, lasagna, soup noodles, casseroles, hamburger helper, alfredo?
Hell there is a daily carbonara thread here!

Potatoes to me are just french fries, baked potatoes, hashbrows and that's about it.

>>9067333
You can use potato flour to make pasta. Less refined is better, you can't turn pasta back into wheat and then make bread.

>>9067341
Most pastas you get at the store are literally just wheat. You can absolutely turn them into wheat flour.

>>9067358
Do you own a mill? It'd take ages with mortar and pestle so I discounted it as too much work.. Making potato flour is so much easier.

>>9067367
It's probably about as much work as making rice flour.

I think the thread is a little myopic by saying you get any kind of potato, any kind of rice, but only this one kind of wheat product.

>>9067374
True. Rice, potato, or wheat might be a better question. Though potato or grain (wheat, rice, oats, barley) is probably more fair as potatoes have a lot of range in starch content. I still contend bigger is better as large pieces applications (fries, chips, roasted whole) are more difficult with grains.

>>9064924
Rice is cheap and nutritious as are potatoes. Whichever you choose you win. Pasta shouldn't even be in the running. It's trash.

>>9067403
you're right except pasta is not trash, it's delicious. especially with tomato gravy

>>9067444
Tomato gravy? Do we have flyoverland represented here? Pennsylvania?

Nothing sounds dumber than calling tomato sauce "gravy".

>>9064924
Locked out of just the other two? Pasta.
Locked out of all starch sides, like groats? Potatoes.

>>9068005

What do you think they call it in italy, dipshit? god, you uncultured twats.

>>9064924
Too hard, can't choose just one. But, I will say it's either rice or potatoes. Both are very versatile, and both have good points and bad points. I'm leaning slightly more towards potatoes, because of their nutrition, but then rice has a much longer storage life, which is nice. They both have great flavors. IDFK.

>>9068037

Because direct translation ALWAYS makes sense...

Is white rice really bad for you? I've been hearing that a lot lately. I just don't want to believe.

>>9068318
Not bad depending on the rest of your diet but not as nutritious as brown rice.

>>9068330
Hmmm had a dude tell me that his doctor likened it to eating candy because of all the sugars in it.

It didn't sound right but I'm not fucking doctor so why have that argument?

>>9064924
Okinava longlivers diet is based on potato, so...

>>9068318
>>9068371

Why the uncertainly? Just fucking look up the nutritional content of white rice and that will make things perfectly clear.

>>9068384
Look on Google. Half the links says it's worse than sugar, the other half say yeah sugar's in there but not a big deal.

I thought you boys might have the skinny on what the truth is, lots of people here have already researched it.

>>9068371
Japan eats nothing but rice and a bit of fish and they have the highest age expectancy.

Everything in moderation ios key, plain white rice is simply carbs and nothing more. It can raise blood sugar, so if you are eating rice with lots of fatty food in excess with soda and ice cream for desert, of course it's not going to be good.

That's pretty much what I already do

>>9064924
Potatoes, obviously. Who has ever heard of twice baked rice?

>>9068439
This.

>clogs your gut

>Potatoes
>Delicious when used in other dishes
>Tasteless on their own unless fried, which is a pain in the ass

Tbh if this was forever, I would have to pick potatoes for nutritional reasons, but right now my starch of choice is pasta.

potatoes i guess

>>9068469
I have. It's not uncommon.

1. Potatoes
2. Rice

>>9068371
Well the difference is that candy is usually eaten by itself, whereas rice is eaten with meat and vegetables which slow down digestion. If you were eating nothing but plain white rice yeah it wouldn't be very good for you and you'd get blood sugar spikes. It'd be better to eat brown rice if you're able to because it's a more complete food but white rice is still okay as long as you combine it with other foods.
