I Could Eat That For the Rest of my Life

Offal is organ meat. Brains, kidney, heart etc.

I concur 

Mmmm offal...

Not on my boak-o-meter at all! 

I would pick a good salad with blue cheese dressing, steak strips and french fries.  And if you don't think fries belong on a salad I beg to differ.

Potatoes is a very wise choice, all you need is some dairy in there and you really could live off of pototes without suffering any ill effects from malnutrition. Mmmmmmmm. Potatoes.

Until you got scurvy.

I actually don't even like potatoes. I think white rice, kencap manis and a really thin omlette overloaded with scallions, is my ultimate favourite meal.

I love asparagus and could eat it every day.  Can't stand offal. Can't even stand the smell of organ meats.

Potatoes actually have more vitamin c in them than oranges, or so my nutrition-major friend told me!  Something like one potato with the skin on is 40% of your daily recommended value of vitamin c.

Uhhh no.  One potato with the skin has 49ish% of your daily vitamin C.   It depends on the size of the potato and how it was stored though. But according to the Potato Council, potatoes account for 15% of the UKs daily Vitamin C intake.

I don't deny that potatoes have nutritional qualities, but I'm not a huge fan either. They don't taste of anything! I don't hate them, but I rarely cook with them as they seem like filler.  

I like potatoes well enough, but it's hard to make them interesting without dousing them in butter/salt/cheese/cream/mayonnaise etc.  However, the ones we grow ourselves do have a lovely flavour--far better than the generic white supermarket spuds.

My one food forever would be pasta, preferably with different sauces, but if I had to choose just one dish, it would be fettucini with fresh basil pesto.  This has been my favourite thing since I was a child and I still love it.  I won't touch raisins, sultanas, or prawns.  Urghhh.

I just had a check, and google says that apparently if you just ate potatoes and milk you'd eventually die of molybdenum deficiency "signs of molybdenum deficiency . . . are headache, rapid breathing and heart rate, nausea and vomiting, acute asthma attacks, visual problems, disorientation, and, finally, coma."

So yes, you wouldn't die of scurvy, but you'd still eventually die If you were just eating two things you could do much worse than potatoes and milk, but you can't survive on it long term. Sad face.

I totally didn't realise that potatoes had Vit C in them, but imo, they're still bland and gross (and lacking in the essential nutrient molybdenum apparently!)

After watching Wife Swap last night, I definitely know that I couldn't eat "high meat."
Definite 

Heh. High meat.  

Well, I doubt that most of the things on here would allow people to live long term on them.  Although I might be willing to try.  

Also, according to the NHS potatoes do contain molybdenum, just not as much as those that grow above ground.  It looks like it depends on how much is in the soil.

I heard this on the TV today....Pink slime used in hamburger meat and it is sprayed with ammonia gas. Don't gag until you watch this clip.

Yeah, that is really gross -- but somehow doesn't surprise me!

Practices like these contributed to my vegetarianism when I lived in the US.
