Thus kind of joke always reminds me a mathematics joke, for this instance we’re using potatoes.

Everything in the universe is either a potato or not a potato. The great majority, by far, is not a potato, but at the same time, the majority of things that are not potatoes, when examined very very close, or in really short time intervals, they behave as potatoes and you can use potato techniques on them.

… My son said: “I’m a potato.”

He’s clearly not a potato. I’m not a potato. We don’t current have potatoes in the pantry. The picture may be of a potato, but a picture is not a potato.

What about potato seeds?

What about two potatoes?

What about a poutine?

That’s just another way to say Idaho.

Many things once were or someday will be potatoes too.

Objection: Sweet potatoes.

Their name says they’re clearly potato, but:

Sweet potato is only distantly related to the common potato

French Fries used to be potato, but now they are fries. Inside the oil, they are neither fry nor potato, but a secret third thing forbidden to you.

What’s with the pile in the middle? What style is that? Almost looks like hash brown, but without being held together.

Shoestring potatoes.

If that’s shoestring what the hell is the typical fast food cut called? I thought that was shoestring. 🤔

Skhate_or_die,

Hashbrowns

I don’t know if you’re being silly or I need to point out I meant the fries. 🤣

Skhate_or_die,

Haha, yep I guess I was being silly. Had a few cocktails at happy hour and totally misunderstood that. 😂

ChicoSuave,

Typical American fast food fries are a julienne cut. The tiny shoestring ones are also called matchstick fries.

Shoestring, julienne, matchstick, haystack

There seems to be some contention on this.

I’ll just chalk that up to regional differences in naming. Like Soda vs Pop. I’ve never seen this in California. Where might I actually order “matchstick fries” or a “haystack?” :3

redhorsejacket,

Freddy’s Steakburgers is a chain that serves matchstick style fries. Idk if they are in California, but they’ve popped up all over the Midwest. I hate them, but several of my friends swear by them. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

BigDiction,

Nah the middle is better referred to as Haystack. Shoestring style is like McDonalds

The only form of potato I’m not really fond of are tater tots. Which is weird, because I love hashbrowns; which are basically the same exact thing, but flat.

ArmoredThirteen, in Anything for that starch

potatobro, in Anything for that starch
