Hey. I like eating raw potatoes. Dip them in a little salt and yummy. Yes, I am weird. I also ate raw slices of onion too. On the other hand, raw turnips are really good. Like radishes without the bite.
This may be a stupid question, but aren't raw potatoes supposed to be poisonous? Perhaps it was just a rumor started by Big Cracker to keep us from testing carb intolerance with potato.
Only the peels and eyes, and if there is any green left over on the potato after peeling it. Do a good job of peeling and remove the eyes and they are perfectly safe raw.
Poisonous potatoes, they must be referring to potatoes that have been stored for a long time - especially if not stored in a cool dark humidity controlled environment. Growing up I ate many a potatoe raw, would walk out to the garden, dig beside a plant and find a new potatoe, cut it off the root, a quick wash and chomp chomp.0 -

I think that is why I eat so many raw veggies. My Mom was raised on a farm and did the same thing so she always had raw veggies available for us to eat. I used to watch her peel potatoes and she would frequently cut off a chunk and eat it while peeling. I don't think she was even aware of it.
Summer dinners usually included a platter of raw veggies, many from our garden: carrots, celery, green onions, turnips, radishes, cabbage, etc. Cool, easy to prepare, didn't heat up the kitchen, and tasty.2 -

I totally design my diet around whether or not cilantro tastes like soap. It 100% tastes like chemicals to me and ruins every food that it touches, so my diet is anything that doesn't include cilantro.
That's what you meant, right
?
Then claim that everyone, even those who like cilantro, should eat just like you.
Dang, I did it wrong.
So, I have to start the campaign that avoiding cilantro is the ONE WEIRD TRICK to drop 10 pounds in a week?
Am I getting closer to how this works?
I'll take the rejected cilantro.
I'll trade you for all those delicious sounding crackers.
#CilantroIsPoison
Cilantro is of the gods! You walk that hashtag back right now, cilantro hater.
Seriously though, I know it's not for some people. My sister can't even stand the smell of it and we are both from a Latin culture that uses it frequently and in large amounts in meals.
I could never figure out how on earth people liked that stuff until I finally learned that it literally doesn't taste the same to most people when I was around 25 or so. I just thought people were nuts for liking the chemically taste.
I used to not like it at all. Maybe my genetics morphed. And I should be paid thousands for them to study this phenomena.
Worst X-Men power ever.
Rude. Do you even have a super power bro?
I'll have you know I can turn biomatter into energy to tense various strains of muscle all over my body to exert feats of strength.13 -

30 seconds, or until the taste changes. Keep up 5 -

If I were watching Springer and Oz together, I would be tolerant enough to finish at least one full bag.2 -
I tried this test with Lays potato chips. I learned nothing about my tolerance to carbs but I did confirm my love for Lays potato chips.11

By chewing a salt less cracker
0 to 14 seconds until taste change: carb tolerant
15 to 30 seconds until taste change:Moderate carb intolerance
More than 30 seconds until taste change:high carb intolerance
When one of my FB friends posted this, my assumption was that the taste never changes for anyone, and that will mean we're all highly carb intolerant, so will need to buy whatever it is they're selling this time.
Just a guess, though.6 -

As long as the crust was made of crackers, I think you've got it <nods>4 -

I think there is a toxin that they contain...but you'd have to eat A LOT of raw potatoes before it would affect you. I think the toxin is more concentrated in a green or sprouting potato, which is why you're supposed to cut out the "eyes".
It's not just toxins, they're just not very digestible and can upset your innards.
Personally I prefer to eat potatoes within well established parameters. I love them, but they're from a difficult family and have some issues.
I ate a whole order of beer-battered steak-cut french fries the other day, with about half a cup of catsup.
Is that "within established parameters"?

Those parameters aren't only established, they're preferred.4 -

I'm honestly not sure what it is. It was on a hotel buffet and I asked a waitress what it was. That's what she said. It was sort of vanilla and toffee. It did taste popcornish but the popcorn was not visible.
ETA I suspect in my case the popcorn was hidden in the base.0 -
