Would you rather eat a totato (potato that tastes like a tomato) or a pomato (tomato that tastes like a potato)?

    Neither. If I want to taste a tomato, I’ll eat a tomato.

    Totato, tomato taste without the weird gross tomato texture.

    Could you imagine if this was a thing? Foods with flavor profiles switched with texture profiles of other foods?

    Think about it:

    We could actually achieve…. STEAK fries.

    Totato. I like the flavor, but not the texture, of tomatoes.

      I imagined one is like a potato and the other a tomato, just with the flavours swapped.

        Ok then I’m definitely going for the pomato. That’s basically like a mashed potato in a nice skin to help keep it’s shape.

          Nah, that would be like watery soupy mashed potato. Plus I guess it would taste like raw potato

    To me it’s obviously the potato that tastes like tomato. I use tomatoes in so many dishes. Potatoes don’t taste nearly as good as a tomato. Heck, even fried potatoes need tomato: fries with ketchup!

    Dice 'em both, cook 'em together and eat them both.

    Tomato and potato work together, so I figure that totato and pomato should too.

    Totato. I add tomato flavoring to potato a lot, but never the other way around.

    Is the pomato cooked first? If not, then I’d rather have the totato.

    Can we cook them? If not, I want the tomato that tastes like potato. If we can cook them, switch that.
