Out of plain boredom while I sit her at 2 in the morning trying to finish my BBW porn collection (I know, don't judge me!) I've come to the realization that I really, REALLY don't like potatoes all that much. Why? Because to me, the average potato is bland, only being promoted to greatness by Idaho's Agricultural-Industrial complex that has promoted it as a particularly manly side dish: "Meat and potatoes", the promotion of french fries in all fast food restaurants, and you cant go to a cook out without someone bringing a bag of chips/crisps.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
stepping up pressure on the Department of Health to recognise fresh spuds under the five-a-day scheme after research revealed most consumers already believe the vegetable to be eligible.
FIGHT THE POWER !
it would give suppliers a potentially important marketing boost at a time when potatoes are struggling against pasta and rice

Potatoes are a platform for the delivery of greatness, like cake is merely a platform for the delivery of frosting.
-Baked potato with cheese and butter and bacon - proof of the existence of Satan!
-Properly done steak fries with salt. Yes!
aforementioned steak fries with chicheknfired steack cream gravy. Yes!

I used to be okay with potatoes in most forms, but that list has been chipped down to only a handful.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
As a massive walking stereotype, I do love my spuds.
Ireland does have a huge variety available though so it's hard to agree with them tasting bland considering how many seperate tastes you can get from a basic baked potato here, ranging from like eating a giant new/baby potato, to ones that have bright yellow floury insides that are so buttery they need nothing on top.
Frazz has got it right, they are perfect for pushing an ok meal into an awesome meal. Chicken curry? Oh yeah. Chicken curry ON chips? Better. Fried breakfast? Yes please. Fried breakfast with hash brown to soak up all the juices? Want now.
.. Ive made myself hungry.

Big. As in "roll her in flour and go for the wet spot" big.
One of the underrated advantages to being fat is shameless sex with fat women. Nobody judges you, the women don't think you have a fetish, and they don't give you crap about your gut.
Wow....just wow....what have I been reading on this thread?....hopefully i'll wake soon and I won't continue to see Albatross in my minds eye making love to a potato.... BBP....

Potatoes are awesome. They may be bland but like Frazzled said, they can be turned into pure awesomeness. Mmmm, seasoned curlie fries....loaded mashed potatoe swith steak...
Two more weeks till I'm back in California, and the first thing I'm going to get is a big juicy steak, with garlic loaded mash on the side, and apple pie ala mode for desert. Wohoo American stereotype food!
