- 0_____0 7mo agoyou have done potatoes a profound insult by not including them in this list
- inkyoto 7mo agoAs well as to eggplant and belladonna.
- masklinn 7mo agoAnd tomatoes.
- 0_____0 7mo agoyou are both right of course but for some reason my fealty to potato does not extend to tomatoes and eggplant quite the same way. i feel toward potatoes sort of how gary Larson feels about cows
- msandford 7mo agoYears ago I made harissa out of peppers for sauce for baked chicken wings. To my surprise it tasted tomato-ey. After doing some Google searches I realized the plants were related and eventually it sort of made sense. Peppers are almost like a very dry, very firm tomato. In hindsight it's obvious but at the time it was very surprising.
- hollerith 7mo agoSure, but cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, etc, are all the same species.
