Can I make pomato fries? Do they need ketchup?

    Totato. I like the flavor, but not the texture, of tomatoes.

    To me it's obviously the potato that tastes like tomato. I use tomatoes in so many dishes. Potatoes don't taste nearly as good as a tomato. Heck, even fried potatoes need tomato: fries with ketchup!

    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 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? 😂💜🍻

    What's the texture situations on these?

    I imagined one is like a potato and the other a tomato, just with the flavours swapped.

    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.

    Nah, that would be like watery soupy mashed potato. Plus I guess it would taste like raw potato

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

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

    Totato. I add tomato flavoring to potato a lot, but never the other way around.

    Totato because I don't like the texture of tomatoes.

    Totato, tomato taste without the weird gross tomato texture.

    I believe when they bred the Pomato they were quite poisonous, so the other one

    Fried green pomato.

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

  • source
  • [–] 4 points 10 months ago

    Absolutely.

    Can we cook them? If not, I want the tomato that tastes like potato. If we can cook them, switch that.

    Gimme a knife and a crockpot and some spices, i'll take five of each

  • [–] 4 points 10 months ago

    Is the pomato cooked first? If not, then I'd rather have the totato.

    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

    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 .

    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.

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

    Neither. If I want to taste a tomato, I'll eat a tomato.

    Totato seems fairly practical, if you slice thin enough it could create interesting burgers or salads, however if you could turn Pomato into mashed potato it could save a bunch of effort mashing...

    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

    Worst part about a tomato has always been the texture so this is pretty easy I'm going for that totato.

    Fun fact, I recently learned there is a study claiming that potatoes are actually a cross between tomato and tuberosum

    Tomato for sure. Made into fries would be excellent

    Totato.

    My hatred of tomatoes isn't based on their taste.
