For the next two weeks, I will be eating nothing but Potatoes and Water, I will not be eating any seasonings, including salt, pepper, or cayenne, I will not be using butter, margarine or hot sauce. I will not be using cooking oil, and I will not be reducing my potatoes to hash browns or chips.

I will only allow myself to eat potatoes, in a way that allows for no exiting or entering of too much excess water.

For those wondering, I am doing this to reset my palette to better help me avoid crappy food, and make food taste better, also I have a sugarfree ethical vegan friend who I want to blow out of the water.

AMA

Also, what should I have for my first meal back, I'm trying to avoid red meat as it upsets my stomach already

Are you cooking the potato at all?

Yes I am, I will be either boiling it, mashing it, baking it or steaming it (If that's a thing), I am actually open to suggestions on how to eat them

Okay, so how does this "blow your vegan friend out of the water"?
Why would you fraternize with a vegan?

And not to fedora out, i'd be curious what sushi would taste like after no taste for two weeks. Just simple Nigiri, no soy or anything.

I also doubt you will last, id do rice instead, and get on the refugee diet.


You also seem like a massive cunt, why would anyone want to "AMA" about a stupid dietary choice.

But this is 4chan, so i'll digress:

You're a faggot, and you should kill yourself, cuck.

What's to ask? You're going to be eating potatoes for the next two weeks. You gave a reason why. Try something more interesting next time.

How does two weeks prove a damn thing? And if that just his dietary choice, why does he care if his idiot friend wants to eat spuds for two weeks? That would mean nothing to him. It's not like if you do it, he has to eat meat or something. Is this guy even aware that you call him your friend?

You're going to relapse and binge on shitty shit.

What you should do is ease into a diet of exclusively whole/unrefined foods. You can avoid stuff like cashews and bananas if you want to pretend to be ethically superior to your friend, but there is no ethical consumption under capitalism :^)

i used to eat potatoes for lunch at work. i'd wash it off, stab it all over with a fork, wrap it in a wet paper towel, and cook it for six minutes on high in a 1000 watt microwave. it came out "perfect" every time

I was just talking to my grandmom about this. She says she's addicted to peanut butter but I say she's addicted to sugar. She doesn't consider peanut butter to be sweet which is amazing to me. I've bought her the kind that is just roasted and ground peanuts and she hates it. She mainly eats overdressed salads, other salty foods, and sweets and only drinks diet soda and coffee with a lot of artificial sweetener. I've finally gotten her to enjoy water by adding lemon juice to it but before she didn't like it. Said it tasted bad.

This is a result of blowing your taste buds out, right? I've never met anyone else who didn't like water or would think of Jif as unsweetened. I'd like to know your results, OP. I think my taste has been hurt by salty foods and smoking but I'm not sure. The potato diet sounds extreme but it could work. I think a plain boiled tater tastes pretty good if you're hungry.

Why do you not know the difference between palette and palate? Are you a stupid cunt?

PS roast those fuckers, it'll reduce their water content and make them more nutritionally sound. Also, chew very thoroughly so your ptyalin/alpha-amylase has a chance to do its job. Also, you may want to supplement with a good multivitamin, including B12.

i remember testing this out with soda once when i heard how people used to treat it like it was a dessert or something way back when. they consumed very small amounts of it because it was just a sugary treat. but to me soda was just fizzy water since i drank it nonstop. i now drink them once a year or so and i can taste how sweet and syrupy they are.

I don't like roast potato much, but I'll try anything

>>8185770
This is exactly my point, vegetables are good! but it's deplorable that they're just thrown by the wayside, and I know it's a mostly American thing, but my palate has been changed drastically because of shitty habits as a kid. I mean I've made a concerted effort to change my diet in the past couple months but I don't feel like my palate has changed too much

>> No.8185869

>>8185801
That guy didn't say anything about vegetables.

Try to roast some cut up potatoes to where they're caramelized a bit but not much. It's hard to get it just right without oil or seasonings but it's good. Boiled potato will probably be your best option. I don't think there would be any harm in eating some soft or hard boiled eggs too. They can be delicious without any seasoning.

I swear that misspelling palate is a meme on ck. I literally have never seen it spelled correctly aside from when someone is posting to correct someone else's spelling. At this point I can't believe that it's an accident.

I'm poor, and have done this before out of necessity. Granted, with salt, and nonstick spray.

The last time I tasted red meat was maybe 6 months ago, and it was delicious.

When you're finished with your challenge, have a meaty pizza on my behalf.

So you're literally just trying to undo your shit taste so whatever food you eat after this stunt is going to taste like heaven. Sounds fucking retarded, OP. After a month of only eating one ingredient I'm sure cup ramen would taste amazing. Why don't you just start getting used to eating decent food instead of taking an extreme measure for the sake of winning a petty bet?

>After a month of only eating one ingredient I'm sure cup ramen would taste amazing.
I can attest to this. Once, I was so sick of ramen, putting it to my lips nearly made me puke. No joke. I really almost hurled.

Then after dropping ramen for alternatives, I eventually found myself on a potato diet.(with broccoli onions and eggs) Eventually, I got sick of potatoes, and went back to ramen. It was like I never ate ramen before. The first bowl tasted far better than I remembered.

Moral of the story is: You need variety. Variety is the spice of life.
