I voted for potatoes but I object against bread being one of the options - bread is a thing, not a starch specifically.

The original argument this spawned from had wheat instead of bread, and it was about staples. Then we got deep in the weeds of all the things that can be made into bread as a replacement, so we ‘ruled’ that bread counts as all bread products, because my eldest nows more about millet than I ever thought possible.

I can’t live without fried potatoes, sandwiches, or salted rice. I just can’t.

Listen, would I steal your fries at every opportunity? Of course I would. Would I eat a family pack of kettle chips and call it dinner? Sure. I’m not denying these are delicious foods.

But what makes a potato good isn’t the potato, it’s oil and salt. You can put oil and salt on anything to make it good, and most of the alternatives pack a lot more flavour. Give me fried spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms over that mealy lump anyday.

Ban potatoes. Apple crisps are better.

ETA: …I should bake some bread

You can make bread without starch!

I only rarely eat potatoes, but rice and different kinds of breads are part of my regular diet so.

No contest.

ETA: And potatoes are a compliment to a meal, not the base of the meal! No sushi, no burritos, no bagels, no bread, no burritos? JUST END ME. Potatoes, you are a member of this council, but we do not grant you the rank of starch.

Brown rice in, white rice gone. Whole wheat bread in, white bread gone. There’s no real better substitute for a potato, alas. Reason: glycemic index.

Grew up with rice and bread as primary starches.
