I choose Jews

I can give up potatoes easily, but I need onion for damn near everything I cook and eat.

Nice blog, onion-eater.

>>16786814
same

>>16786814
I wouldn't say I could give up potatoes easily, I love potatoes, but onion is needed for virtually everything and potato is mostly just for side dishes so reluctantly potato.

>>16786894
Thanks.

>>16786809
I would give up meat before giving up potatoes

>>16786809
Potatoes. Even though they are probably the food i ate most in my life.

>>16786921
You're welcome man, you earned it.

>>16786809
Just kill me right now desu.

>>16786917
Same.

>>16787098
You're not getting off that easily, struggler.

I keep potatoes and start using shallots, scallions, leeks and chives

there are a lot of starchy & fibrous root-vegetables that you could probably substitute for potatoes OP

Potatoes, ez. I love them but they are much easier to replace. I use onions for almost everything.

i just got into onions and am using them in everything, but i can't give up potatoes

Onions. Potatoes are God's gift to humanity. They are literal perfection. Just thinking about their rough outer layer and creamy center is making my mouth water and my dick hard.

>>16786809
Onions. I don't think I would notice the loss for a good while, and potatoes are too good to give up regardless.

>>16786809
Onions. Have to avoid them for my low fodmap diet anyway and honestly it isn't so bad. Its difficult to eat out but putting green onions in when I cook is good enough

>>16786809

What kind of dumbass question is this? Potato is the emptiest carb while onion is one of the most versatile vegetables. Obviously give up potato.

>>16786809
Onions, no question. I'm not trudging through this mortal coil with a sudden lack of creamy potato.

>>16786809
Other than the meat and dairy I eat I’m a vegan . I need onions and mushrooms to make uninteresting vegetables more appetizing ( kale , fresh green beans , broccoli , brussel sprouts etc. ) . I like to cook them in batches to save time .

Onions would have to go. French fries, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, etc, I couldn't. Onions can be replaced with other doting's but potatoes? I'll slice your jugular if you attempt to stop me from eating the good ol' gift from mother nature.

>>16788982
It’s a lot healthier to get rid of the potatoes .

Onions, I'll just use scallions or chives and it'll be fine

>>16789544
Or Leeks or Shallots

>>16786809
I'm assuming that giving up onions also include shallots? If so then I give up potato easily, potato can be replaced with numerous other starchy root vegetables for most purposes. Onion is the foundation of so many good dishes I can't do without.

>>16786809
Taters easily. How is this a question?

top jej

>>16786809
Onions because you never know when hard times come and I'd rather have a potato diet than onions.

>>16790329
Well , I’m not militant about it .I want to join in on the whole fluid identity thing going on . And as a bonus it makes vegans angry . I figure I can eat two or three servings of meat and dairy a day and I’m still mostly vegan .

only intelligent post ITT

>>16786809
I would miss onions but I like potatoes too much.

>>16790723
>i give up onions and use onions instead
Retard.

>>16788030
>just got into onions
i was into onions before it was cool

>>16786809
Without potatoes you have turnip
Without onions you have garlic

Leaning towards banning taters

This is basically a straw poll to see who cooks and who doesn't.

>>16791485
this kek

Potatoes = starch . Starch = energy . Do we need more energy in our diets ?

Potatoes easily.

>>16786809
potatoes, it's not even that hard desu.
Without onions you can't make soffrito, something that makes every sauce more flavourful. You can of course substitute it with garlic but sometimes onions makes a difference
Also I can't cook acquacotta without onions

Potatoes are delicius but you can substitute it with any other starch for your diet, you have to give up a couple of recipe like mashed potatoes, hashbrowns and gnocchi but potatoes are not a base ingredient of pretty much any cuisine

Bad thread

this is controversial but I would give up onions for the rest of my life

>>16791462
A shallot is as much of an onion as fucking garlic, OP says nothing about all onion-like plants being banned, just onions.

>>16786809
Potatoes, I can get starchy goodness from other sources. I can't get that same kick from onion substitutes.

>>16792966
>soffrito
Is that really the best you could think of? Potato's versatility as a starch is what makes it prized, it's why people dont tend to substitute it out

>>16786809
I rarely ever eat potatoes, but I enjoy the flavor of a nicely caramelized onion.

Assuming giving up potatoes still gives me access to sweet potato or at least yam, definitely those.

There are always substitutes when an ingredient goes missing. Both can be replaced, but at higher cost and inconvenience.
Potatoes are a staple for energy, onions are more of a flavoring or spice. From a pure survival point of view, the potato has more value. It can also be used to make vodka.

>>16786809
how could one even consider giving up potato chips? nevermind all the other types of potatoes

>>16786809
I can still eat onyo

Potato.

There are other starches. I'd miss them. But onions are in fucking everything.

>Is that really the best you could think of?
You mean the basis of flavour enhancement for pretty much any cuisine of the world?
