It would also kill you if it was fired out of a cannon without breaking apart somehow

Not to mention, if you try to swallow a potato whole (as one does), you risk choking to death.

From what I understand, green potatoes are rendered harmless by boiling, as the poisons are water soluble. Though they are not rendered inactive by boiling, they are diffused through the water, rendering it inadvisable to reuse for boiling other foods. Following that, harvesting these poisons is relatively easy and a good way to get Cheney, that asshole, to keep to his own fucking food.

Not disagreeing, trying to keep food waste down.

now I have Attack of the Killer Tomatoes song in my head, what a fucking classic!

I am sure you shouldn't eat raw potatoes anyway

Tomatoes are fruit! Although I don't know if the mutant tomatoes still count as such.

A chicken would eat you if it could

This at least reduces biomagnification.

Wheat grain is strictly a vegetable, being an edible plant part. But people usually use the word to refer to a socially-constructed category which is completely feels-based. Membership tends to be determined by flavor profile, nutrition content, and whether the given part falls into another popular sub-category (such as fruit or nuts). This is why fruits like the tomato and pumpkin are usually sorted as vegetables separately from fruits with generally sweeter flavors like the banana or orange.

Vegetables like grains, legumes, and certain tubers will often be grouped together as "carbs" due to their high carbohydrate content which distinguishes them from low-calorie, high-fiber vegetables like spinach or broccoli.

Wheat is a plant. If wheat was a vegetable we wouldn't need the distinction between plant and vegetable.

That's really stretching the definition of "vegetables".

I used to work at Boston Market, and there were definitely customers that would order a whole chicken just for themselves and eat it. Not every day or anything, but it wasn't rare enough to raise eyebrows either.

I thought this was common knowledge?

They probably ate the roosters though? Or maybe sold them for food ofc.

I read this comment in Max Miller's voice and it definitely enhanced it

Oysters until even the late 20th century, yes?

Oysters were so common that they were incredibly cheap, but they were not considered peasant food. They were enjoyed among the different classes.

Lobster also used to be a peasant food ("cockroach of the sea")

You ever seen a pigeon?

Btw, that "ploughman's lunch" was created in the 1960s by british marketing executives. It has nothing to do with medieval times, it's just meant to evoque that vague feeling.

Is that a pickle or some pickle?

And a wineskin full of barley water, chilled in the stream

All Javerts are bastards.

Or our lives are abundant as fuck, which makes everything else look like absolute poverty.

Also they weren't guzzling wine and ale at all hours and when they did drink it was usually cut with water or what they called 'small beer' and very young wine (which didn't have time to properly fermented and reach full potency) that had limited alcohol content. Also they did drink water. In the same way that in places in the world where they have limited water treatment facilities they still drink water even if it isn't the best.

Again... they weren't stupid. They might not have had the depth and breadth of modern medical technology on how alcohol affects you, but people knew what it did and they know what addiction is (even if they made it out to be a personal weakness) and how terrible it was.

Oh yes I'm tournament viable now!

Just don't drink out of it and you'll be okay.
