Has a miltary war ever started over potatoes?

**happynz** · 26-01-2018, 09:25 PM

Maybe not directly.

Perhaps in ancient Bolivia, Ecuador or Peru? Just a thought.
Potatoes were almost valued as currency.

No potatoes and Irish folks suffer a great famine.

Finally worked out what happened to Dan Quayle. Once is a typo, twice is an American politician lol

Didn't the Irish have potato riots?

The whole "boiled" vs "uneatable" thing....????

Never could get that right.

I'm with ya there. A "cereal" aisle in a US grocery is just ridiculous. They should just put those "cereals" in the sugar aisle and be done with it...

The prices on those boxes of sweet are outrageous too. Big $$$ spent on the ad campaigns for them...to get the kiddies to pester Mum to buy their favorites, with the latest plastic thing-a-ma-jig included inside.

btw that's where the old "silly rabbit, dicks are for chicks" thing came from...Trix cereal.

Slice, cube, shread, you can do anything you like, but as soon as your add onions.... it is Pommes Lyonnaise. Show and tell bellend... Larousse? You haven't got a Larousse.

Then, point to me where it says ONIONS on Pommes Parmentier? Oh, it doesn't. Knob.

"I am a chef"... course you are old man. Same as Snubb has a high powered job in IT.

Larousse? That watered down English abomination is NOT Larousse. Neither Prosper Montagne nor Escoffier would have had anything to with that travesty. THIS is Larousse Gastronomique, you English peasant!

And what does it say about Pommes Lyonnaise - notice the pommes part there - it's not just about the Lyonnaise, we all know about the onions, but in POMMES Lyonnaise the potatoes are required to be prepared in a particular way. You've already said that the Larousse specifies the correct way of doing this so what does the REAL Larousse say?

hmm - it says they are to be prepared in accordance with the recipe for Pommes Sautee - what does that say then?

Round slices? That would be utterly unlike the spuds in the OP then? It would seem that the Larousse, Escoffier, and Montagne say that Pommes de Terre Lyonnaise are round slices of potato served a la Lyonnaise and not just potatoes chopped up any which way. You say otherwise. You are wrong.

yep: hash browns, in New England anyway, are diced potatoes, not riced as I've had them on the west coast...

But isn't it funny how my wife and I, who both grew up in the same county in Ohio, understood hash browns in completely different ways. Me diced, her riced or grated. Food culture is weird.

So what is the difference between ricing and grating potatos? Not much, right?

**HuangLao** · 27-01-2018, 06:33 AM

The variety of experts [towards most everything] here is quite astounding.

Well done TD.

indeed, though just in time to warn against an alarming display noted in a San Francisco diner: dumping ketchup on hash browns...the waitress crossed herself and hurried away...

The horror. Apparently it's happening elsewhere as well. (Wait until the subject of "smothered and covered" hashbrowns at the "Awful Waffle" is introduced...)

Eggs Benedict! Yum!!!!

**Maanaam** · 27-01-2018, 07:38 AM

Are you sure it's not ouvres al la Lyonaise? There may be onions in that sauce.

**Chico** · 27-01-2018, 07:43 AM

Not the classical version though.

...^a description from the menu?...

**Maanaam** · 27-01-2018, 07:48 AM

Frankly, better than your menu description. Menstruating vulvas are not good imagery for food.

Have I just outed myself as not a real man?

**Chico** · 27-01-2018, 07:52 AM

Does it work in Lyon?
