Would you rather eat a totato (potato that tastes like a tomato) or a pomato (tomato that tastes like a potato)?

    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…

        Yes but this time it comes in a rainbow of flavor chemicals kids love!

        Oh and I’m also bringing back the makeup shotgun now with a maga Christian setting.

      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

            If pomato tasted like raw potato, couldnt you just cook it? Put it in a pot of boiling water for a bit, then enjoy.

    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? 😂💜🍻
