Comment on A succulent meal
Soulphite@reddthat.com 22 hours agoPotatoes could. The leaves, sprouts, and underground stems (tubers) of potatoes contain a toxic substance called glycoalkaloid. Glycoalkaloids make a potato look green when it’s exposed to light, gets damaged, or ages. Eating potatoes with a high glycoalkaloid content can cause nausea, diarrhea, confusion, headaches, and death.
Also, the sentient mutant vegetables on Atrack of the Killer Tomatoes will definitely want to do harm toward OP.
From what I understand, green potatoes are rendered harmless by boiling, as the poisons are water soluble. Though they are not rendered inactive by boiling, they are diffused through the water, rendering it inadvisable to reuse for boiling other foods. Following that, harvesting these poisons is relatively easy and a good way to get Cheney, that asshole, to keep to his own fucking food.
Not disagreeing, trying to keep food waste down.
How did we get to Cheney here?
With soup
now I have Attack of the Killer Tomatoes song in my head, what a fucking classic!
I think the sequel is even better
I am sure uou shouldn’t eat raw potatoes anyway
Tomatoes are fruit! Although I don’t know if the mutant tomatoes still count as such.

Not to mention, if you try to swallow a potato whole (as one does), you risk choking to death.
