Would you rather eat a totato (potato that tastes like a tomato) or a pomato (tomato that tastes like a potato)?

What’s the texture situations on these?
Show threadtrashcanJan 11
I imagined one is like a potato and the other a tomato, just with the flavours swapped.
Show threadxorolloJan 11
Ok then I’m definitely going for the pomato. That’s basically like a mashed potato in a nice skin to help keep it’s shape.
Show threadneo2478Jan 11
Nah, that would be like watery soupy mashed potato. Plus I guess it would taste like raw potato
Show threadxorolloJan 11
Neo, why can’t you let me have my to-go mashed potatoes head cannon?! What did I ever do to you?!?!

If pomato tasted like raw potato, couldnt you just cook it? Put it in a pot of boiling water for a bit, then enjoy.
Show threadAdmetusJan 11
Is the pomato cooked first? If not, then I’d rather have the totato.
Show threadFenderStratocasterJan 11
Absolutely.
Show threadSumocatJan 11
Totato. I add tomato flavoring to potato a lot, but never the other way around.

I’ll have a potomatato

Can I make pomato fries? Do they need ketchup?

Pomato sauce

No.

pomato hands down.

disagree
Show threadRhynoplazJan 11
Can we cook them? If not, I want the tomato that tastes like potato. If we can cook them, switch that.
Show threadsnek_boiJan 11
To me it’s obviously the potato that tastes like tomato. I use tomatoes in so many dishes, and tomato sauce/paste in so many others. Potatoes don’t taste nearly as good as a tomato. Heck, even fried potatoes need tomato: fries with ketchup!
Show threadPurple_drinkJan 11
Absolutely. There’s no real use for the opposite.
Show threadneo2478Jan 11
It would be just a shitty watery potato
Show threadF/15/[email protected]Jan 11

Potato flavored tomato? A bland tomato? I already eat those fried with egg wash and cornmeal. (One large tomato is enough for 1-2 people, don’t repeat my mistake. We ate fried green tomatoes for days in multiple forms.)

A tomato flavored potato? That’ll condense some of my recipes and ruin others. But also a yes.

Show threadSharkticonJan 11
Worst part about a tomato has always been the texture so this is pretty easy I’m going for that totato.
Show threadtalJan 11

Dice 'em both, cook 'em together and eat them both.

Tomato and potato work together, so I figure that totato and pomato should too.

Show threadfelixwhynotJan 11
Fun fact, I recently learned there is a study claiming that potatoes are actually a cross between tomato and tuberosum
Show threadEndlessNightmareJan 11
Totato. I like the flavor, but not the texture, of tomatoes.
Show threadNuerionJan 11
i was gonna comment the same exact thing lol

Could you imagine if this was a thing? Foods with flavor profiles switched with texture profiles of other foods?

Think about it:

We could actually achieve…. STEAK fries.

This is/was a thing with the Grapple. NileRed made a video on it on their NileBlue channel.

This would be amazing.

Ok so stay with me, when I was sick and couldn’t eat solid food for two weeks my friend put a double bacon cheeseburger in her blender with milk then microwaved it for me. Once I got used to the flavor and temperature of a burger coming from a milkshake texture it was like one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

Any kind of mindfuckery with food should be tried bc why the hell not? 😂💜🍻

Totato, tomato taste without the weird gross tomato texture.
Show threadBarneyPiccoloJan 11
Neither. If I want to taste a tomato, I’ll eat a tomato.
Show threadAtlas_Jan 11
Tomato for sure. Made into fries would be excellent
Show threadpotoooooooo ✅️Jan 11
That wasn’t an option. Also tomato fries sound horrid.
Show threadAllHailTheSheepJan 11
totato fries with pomato ketchup sounds like a great way to convince someone their having a stroke
Show threadKrauerkingJan 11

Fried green pomato.

Also like ever bite into a raw potato? Even if it tasted like tomato that is a hard no.

Show threadHurricaneLizJan 11
Totato for sure, potatoes taste gross 😂
Show threadpotoooooooo ✅️Jan 11
This triggered me. Please don’t speak ill of potatoes. Are you even okay!?
Show threadIronBirdJan 12
look, if you need to deep fry or smother something in butter for it too taste good…it doesn’t taste good
Show threadpotoooooooo ✅️Jan 12
Then literally nothing tastes good.
Show threadHurricaneLizJan 12
Haahaha 😂 sorry
Show threadnagaramJan 12

It depends on raw or cooked.

If both options are cooked and line up so

A Totato has the texture of a coooked potato with the flavor of a cooked tomato, I’m 100% down

Pomato though… Idk. I’m imaging a pomato sauce and I think it would just be mixed mashed potatoes and spaghetti ya know? Not repulsive, but not desirable.

And if we’re talking eating it raw? Totato without question. Rough texture sure, but I’d get through it .

Come back to be me when you’ve experienced the fine Dutch Cuisine of boiled potatoes, plain vegetables, and watery meat as the primary dish of your childhood. Occasionally the boiled potatoes are mixed with slightly undercooked potato slices, and potentially the spices kerrie or nutmeg may be added when the culinary level is exceptionally high that day.

I know potatoes can be better, but unless they’re fried I honestly don’t want them in my house anymore

Show threadcaptainlezbianJan 12
Everything in that dish should have been seasoned and roasted instead of boiled

Yes but this time it comes in a rainbow of flavor chemicals kids love!

There is a right answer, it’s the totato.

Totato fries, with ketchup?

Show threadFriendlybirdseggsJan 12
Pomato

I’m allergic to tomatoes and am in the middle of a brutal hay fever attack from eating crap salsa, so I’m gonna go with the totato
