A question that popped into my head while grocery shopping today as I've realised I've been too dependent on pasta lately. Need to talk myself out of eating it for both lunch and dinner.
What's your preferred starch with a meal?
NB: distinguishing between Italian pastas and Asian noodles as I know some people use 'noodles' interchangeably for both products.
Potato and pastas are definitely my favourite. Potatoes are so versatile and can be done in many different ways and honestly just taste really good. Pasta is also delicious, most of my favourite meals are Italian pasta dishes, like lasagne, spaghetti bolognese, etc etc (you'd never guess by my username, would you?)
I'd say that apart from the odd day I'd be having pizza, I eat either potato or some form of pasta every day. Such good food fr
Voted for rice. I'm a rice guy. Rinse it, place it in the rice cooker, click it on and walk away.
You have to stir pasta often and usually have to strain it.
You have to peel, dice, and boil the potatoes if you're making mashed, strain them...it's a bit of a hassle. Mashed potatoes are good, but they take some prep time.
I voted rice because I love rice, specifically jasmine rice, and I make it often, probably too often. It goes so well with everything else I love!
Italian pastas would be a very close second thanks to my childhood and reminiscent flavors and foods after being "force fed" meals by every Italian family in my neighborhood when I was just trying to play with my friends.
I still ate my Scottish Mom's food when I got home to be nice....
So many stomach aches with all of the food... no wonder I weigh too much (not complaining... so much amazing food!)
