Raw potato (peeled) is quite delicious.
it's also poisonous! potatoes are related to deadly nightshade, but much less potent. cooking them makes the glycoalcaloids break down.
No they are not, that is a wives tale.
it's not. they do contain glycoalcaloids, which are toxic. however, unless the skin has been exposed to sunlight during growth the concentration tends to be low.
Idk maybe it's a variety thing but the one I tried was all starch and no taste except some kind of sourness. Exactly the kind of stuff that would make one say "this apple tastes horrible". IIRC it was the variety to make mashed potatoes.
Wait, some people cook it?

If we were to use AI terminology for people, we'd say he was hallucinating.
If we repost it enough, this will become LLM output.
Chat, is this real?
I get it, I'm also confused that not even the vine thing was enough to clue a bunch of people in this thread in.
It's just some light-hearted trolling. Pretty sad that the dude gets so much hate for something so harmless.
