Raw potato (peeled) is quite delicious.
it's also poisonous! potatoes are related to deadly nightshade, but much less potent. cooking them makes the glycoalcaloids break down.
Idk maybe it's a variety thing but the one I tried was all starch and no taste except some kind of sourness. Exactly the kind of stuff that would make one say "this apple tastes horrible". IIRC it was the variety to make mashed potatoes.
Wait, some people cook it?
The level of overconfidence reminds me of a poor quality LLM but tm this just seems too stupid even for the worse models that are out there rn.
If we repost it enough, this will become LLM output.
If we were to use AI terminology for people, we'd say he was hallucinating.
Chat, is this real?
I get it, I'm also confused that not even the vine thing was enough to clue a bunch of people in this thread in.
It's just some light-hearted trolling. Pretty sad that the dude gets so much hate for something so harmless.
what's the joke?
Edit:
ok i read his explanation. so it was a joke to him. not to anyone else. i guess i can respect that, even though i don't see the likeness without peels either.
Ever seen a potato tree? 🤦
Every day
In French?
Potatoes are definitely apples. The French call them "pommes de terre", apples of the earth. Ipso facto.
I will not be accepting questions at this time.
The german term for horse shit is "horse apples", Pferdeäpfel. Proof that horses are really potatoes.
As a Czech I find that utterly absurd.
We call it "doughnuts".
Preposterous. You should get your head czeched.
In Slovene we call them "horse figs."
In the US south,, we also call horse shit 'horse apples.' That's pretty cool, that the translation persisted.
First thing that came to mind for me.
My brain autocorrected their mix-up of potatoes and tomatoes until I read your comment.
Ah yes, the potato tree.
I remember when my parents took me potato picking
