      Alright folks, help me settle a debate: One of these starches has to go. Vote in the poll, then explain your answer!

        Reasons?

        Grew up with rice and bread as primary starches.

        just a moth

          I can and mostly do without bread and it doesn’t bother me. Toss it!

            For my part, I live on rice and potatoes. I have bread so rarely that I notice when the price changes.

              Caveat: I love potatoes. But.

              Brown rice in, white rice gone. Whole wheat bread in, white bread gone. There’s no real better substitute for a potato, alas. Reason: glycemic index.

                I like all three, but I prefer rice and potatoes if it’s gonna be a choice.

                In Occam I trust.

                    Bread is part of my inappropriate nightly eating, so I would prefer not to have the temptation.

                              If sandwiches or sushi have to go, potatoes are gone.

                              No contest.

                              ETA: And potatoes are a compliment to a meal, not the base of the meal! No sushi, no burritos, no bagels, no bread, no burritos? JUST END ME. Potatoes, you are a member of this council, but we do not grant you the rank of starch.

                                  @Pavel I voted for potatoes but I object against bread being one of the options - bread is a thing, not a starch specifically. You can make bread without starch!

                                  I only rarely eat potatoes, but rice and different kinds of breads are part of my regular diet so.

                                    I voted potatoes as well simply because I don’t really eat them all that much.

                                      Potatoes, sadly. Rice isn’t optional, and freshly baked bread is a glory indescribable to those who’ve not had the experience.

                                      ETA: …I should bake some bread

                                      bird's still the word

                                        I’m voting out the most overrated plant on the planet. What’s taters precious, eh?

                                        Listen, would I steal your fries at every opportunity? Of course I would. Would I eat a family pack of kettle chips and call it dinner? Sure. I’m not denying these are delicious foods.

                                        But what makes a potato good isn’t the potato, it’s oil and salt. You can put oil and salt on anything to make it good, and most of the alternatives pack a lot more flavour. Give me fried spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms over that mealy lump anyday.

                                        Ban potatoes. Apple crisps are better.

                                          Look, I’ve thought more about and I’d like to change my vote to just kill me. I can’t live without fried potatoes, sandwiches, or salted rice. I just can’t.

                                            The original argument this spawned from had wheat instead of bread, and it was about staples. Then we got deep in the weeds of all the things that can be made into bread as a replacement, so we ‘ruled’ that bread counts as all bread products, because my eldest nows more about millet than I ever thought possible.
