I present to you, the evidence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7uy...

Vodka!

Feel like wheat would like a word with you

Would you believe me if I told you that tenderloin, ham, ribs, bacon, and pork all come from the same source?

Rice and eggs. You can do anything with eggs.

The incredible, edible egg.

Onion?

Close, I'll admit.

Unlike the uppity potato. That one is nothing but trouble.

I grew up in corn, beans and rice. Staple foods in a Mexican household.

Corn. Soy. We use them for EVERYTHING.

To be fair I used my mind internet. It’s really unreliable.

Eggs. Eggs don’t require fertilization to be made, can be be made in any condition that the hen who lays it can survive in, and can be made into just about anything one can think of. 🙂

Breadfruit (Pana) Anything you can do to a potato, you can do to breadfruit, but it's lighter and tastier.

I nominate eggs

If anything could rival the potato’s potential, it could only be rice

Well… I ate crow once. Feathers and all.

Use my Breville to Thin slice red potatoes, butter, a glass bowl microwave a cup and a half of the potatoes for 10 minutes ready for seasonings cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper makes my mouth water

tomato

Magical food, praise be

Challenge accepted: Plantains 🥰

Bread. Every culture around the world has it. But I'll agree that potatoes are very close.

I say it is rice, very versatile. I like potatoes, but, rice is my go to for almost everything.

Crockpot cooking 'em now. 💙

I can only think rice or bread.

Milk?

Shrimp. Did Forrest Gump teach you nothing? Bubba would be ashamed!

That’s very healthy. Tomatoes are also in different kind of fruit because they’re good for you cooked and they’re good for you raw. You get different stuff from both which is interesting.

That’s the word on the street

Bamboo. If you don’t want to eat it, you can make a house and some sweatpants out of it.

Rice.

i was just having a convo with my bf about this like you can mash, scramble em, fry them, bake them, even make em into a dessert like … what can you not do

Jackfruit maybe ? Can fry, roast, steam, stew, sweeten, spice, bake (not sure about sweetening potatoes, tho)

Corn and plantain

Corn

They tried to make it cauliflower. It's not cauliflower.

Whole grains of the ancient variety, definitely!

I dont know about more versatile but just as versatile…. Cauliflower

Not just versatile. Have you ever had French fries? Also, heavenly.

It is unquestionably the greatest gift the America's gave the world. It very arguably kick started a middle class in Europe.

Agreed, an amazing food and plant. I invite you to enjoy a spud-inspired song we wrote many years ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgaj...

Apples

May I present: ice cream Thank you

The incredible edible (chicken) egg.

The humble chick pea. Chick pea burgers Chick peas curry Falafel Humus Chick peas in salad Chick pea “tots” Roasted chick peas snack mix

Tomato

Sir - I must take a stand for the humble symbol of my state:

eggs

British pork

Right??

Tomato comes close

I have a friend who was working at a food distribution truck. They had bags of potatoes No one would take them cause they didn’t know what to go with them…🤯 We don’t know how to cook with real food anymore

"Potato" Bro, I've been working all day. I'm finally on the couch, no need to get personal... Lol

Honorable Tomato Whirled Peas Omnipotent Onions

Rice

Soy

Potato’s fucking proud!!!!!

Onions.

The potato is the best staple. Period.

*stares in wheat*

Have you seen jacket potatoes in Britain where they put a whole meal on top of them?!?! Incredible!

The potato is responsible for creating the middle class in Europe and the rest of the world. There's a statue in Europe, of Sir Francis Drake I believe, that shows him with a sword in one hand and a potato in the other. It is 4 to 5 times more productive per acre than any other crop.

Rice

Apple

Tomato :3

Parsnips- makes a cracking wine. Can a potato? No? Parsnips win

Not as versatile, but more essential: onion.

We made the pilgrimage

I’d challenge it with plantains…but not in the US. It can sub most of the places a potato goes PLUS let it ripen and grill it into a super tasty desert without adding a thing to it.

Any food that can give you French fries and vodka is a magical food.

Frybread. Tomahsis, aha.

Bacon

Can you stick a potato in your ass? Thought not.

Chicken drumsticks, chicken wings……

I can feed on potato bread and cheese 🎵

Chocolate digestives. Plain Chocolate digestives to be precise. Highly versatile.

corn

Eggs.

Rice and soybeans are right up there, but you can't out-tater a tater.

Beer

Survival food you can actually grow yourself.

Bacon.

No fault

Garbanzo beans

Eggs

🤔

Egg

If it's the only thing left to eat, I'm good.

level spud

That seems fair. It's hard to beat the mighty spud.

You must admit that it is very versatile.

It's shocking at times no?

Depends which country you're in. £3.16 for a dozen isn't going to break the bank. And I know one person who keeps a few hens, ducks and geese, so, he could egg the whole village if he wanted to. :)

Such a good movie but also so true

Some people here are saying tomato but you can put a potato in a salad whilst tomato fries are just wrong.

Gnocchi: When Italians realised that pasta wouldn't do and they needed more potato in their lives.

The uses of daikon and tofu in Japanese food rival those of the potato.

Asia enters the thread: Rice

Potatoes are god-tier

My dad is a vegetarian and eats potatoes almost everyday he’s in his mid 70’s and his dr says he has the body of a 20 year old guy! Eat your potatoes! 😄

Humble? I dunno... Mr. Potato Head has a pretty big head. Especially after that bit part in Toy Story. He thought he was a bigger star than Spud MacKenzie.

Okay, this is fair.

Cabbage

Corn/Maize

Rice
