Would you rather give up potatoes or bread?
I have celiac diease so bread is poison. If I had a choice it would have been potato.

I would love to teach a gluten free cooking class. My two sons and I have celiac and we have some wonderful dishes that we have created and I would love to share them.
ErikaWaz I would love to have your gorgonzola-walnut cheese ball recipe. Would you mind sharing it with me. Thanks!
I'm Danish. According to the NYT, this means I have to have potatoes at least once a day. My brain tells me that bread in all its glorious manisfestations is food from the gods. My body tells me that I will gain weight if I indulge in bread but the same is not true with potatoes. Go figure.
I'd have to pick potatoes. Although you can get fiber and nutrients from the skins, it's still a "white starch". However, there are plenty of whole grain options in the bread group to choose from.
Oh, potatoes! The other day, I bought Calandra's bread at the bakery in Fairfield, NJ. Nearly ate half the loaf on the way home, it was so good!
As much as I love potatoes, I see them as an indulgence rather than a staple. Bread is definitely a staple and I love every form of it.
i once lived with a man who felt that dinner wasn't really dinner without mashed potatoes and that sunday breakfast wasn't worth sitting down for unless it was composed of hash.
after i left i didn't cook or eat potatoes in any form for over a year.
'nuff said.
If I had to choose it would be a tough one but in the end potatoes would be going. I love me some toast!
I was torn when I saw this question because I noticed bread included tortillas, which I eat several times a week. But, I figure corn tortillas don't count! I'm a potato-aholic. I could eat them fried, mashed, baked, in wedges, in breakfast burritos, etc., every day. I would miss a good sandwich though, as well as french toast, focaccia and grilled cheese. But I just don't buy bread that often because it goes bad faster than I can eat it most of the time (unless I get French bread because my husband devours it as a snack!). I just thought about pizza. Oh boy. But I'd still give up bread first -- if I absolutely had to!
It's fun to see how strongly SE's feel about possibly having to give up a dearly loved food---especially ones that are commonly eating daily:) No, I'm not giving up my cinnamon toast!
Jerz, remember sometime back I posed the question of giving up chocolate or cheese? I could FEEL the strong emotions coming thru those response comments!!
Oh my goodness...are you trying to starve me? Sometimes I think all I eat is potatoes and bread! Man...you're tough JEP! :)
I guess I'd give up the bread...I eat far too many potato products to count.

Chew on That
I agree that this choice belongs in Dante's inferno. I love carbs of all kinds and have no desire to give up any type but bread is a staple a passion. Bagels sandwiches and wraps, not to mention french toast, meatballs, meatloaf (bread crumbs) sweet rolls, foccacia, grilled cheese, pizza. Giving up bread is not an option.
I will miss my mashed potatoes the most!
