Spud Buds!

Spud Buds!

Potato is life!!

Hiya Forums Pals!! By popular request (care of several superstar attendees in one of our mental health recovery groups, and a cracker of an ice breaker), this space is for all lovers of potatoes, and all their glorious forms!!

We ask now the whole forums community to join us in our admiration of this fine root vegetable. But, this may split the community asunder as we discuss....

What do you think is the superior form of the humble potato?

Is it the classic hash brown? The noble potato gem? Or the oft-overlooked mash? Maybe something obscure, like gnocchi?

Let us know gang!!

Re: Spud Buds!

@tyme I forgive you for not liking tatties 😁. I like to think it's my Irish heritage that predisposes me to liking spuds.

Now I am wanting to make poutine....hot chips covered in gravy and cheese curds. Except I just use grated cheese as I don't have curds. It probably sounds disgusting to you!!

A quest!! @ENKELI I hope you uncover the truth!! BIG CHIPPY CONSPIRACY!! THEY'RE HIDING THE GOOD STUFF SOMEWHERE AND WE SHALL FIND IT!! 😝

Re: Spud Buds!

Curd?? Where can you even buy that @ENKELI ?

Wow! I've never heard of that.

I feel OLD - do you know why? I can't eat many hot chips now because I feel sick after. I had a few fries last night and I felt so unwell. It's not the fries themslves, but the oil.

I have to be so careful so I don't have issues with my liver/gallbladder.

OLD AGE!

Re: Spud Buds!

@tyme I have no idea where to locate curds in Australia much less Perth although there are a couple of wholesalers who stock it. Probably specialty IGA shops or gourmet delicatessens.

You aren't old! I was sure I was much older than you. And as for gallbladders, they are just evil. I suffer with gallstones and medication induced fatty liver so I know how you feel. I rarely deep fry chips anymore because I get unwell too.
You poor thing, nothing worse than feeling sick and uncomfortable due to fatty foods. I hope you're feeling much better now sweetie.

And you are NOT old!! 🫂❤️

@Jynx YES! THEY SHALL SOON BE LOCATED. THEY WHO HIDE THE CHICKEN SALT SHALL BE LOCATED!

While I am on my quest for chicken salt I am going to see if I can find cheese curds too. I wonder if I still like them lol!

Re: Spud Buds!

Yeah, I have a fatty liver @ENKELI which is NOT good for my age! And yes, chips have a big part to play! I don't really eat crisps.. but hot chips have been my go to.

Glad you can relate!

Re: Spud Buds!

I dunno why @ENKELI but the word 'curd' has a massive ick factor for me! Maybe cos of 'curdled milk' lol. What are cheese curds like, is it the same vibe as like, marinated feta?

Re: Spud Buds!

@tyme have you changed your pic recently or am I just extremely unobservant?!

I thought you were in your 20s for some reason, I am thinking I may be wrong!

I'm the same with crisps, I prefer popcorn or crackers

But hot chips....they are a weakness 😫

In response to: Re: Spud Buds!

Re: Spud Buds!

@Jynx well that's pretty much what curds are! They are a product of curdled milk but not in a gone off way lol! They are mild and salty. I can't really remember the taste as they were mixed with hot chips and gravy. I think I'll just stick to using grated cheese and continue the Quest to Find the Real Chippy Salt!

In response to: Re: Spud Buds!

Re: Spud Buds!

@ENKELI

I get the same chippy salt as you!

I get it from Spud Shed usually but Coles keep it too.
