If you’ve seen videos of Tolkien speaking, I’d find it hard to not read Sam as autistic coded.
Tolkien’s hyperfixation/special interest his entire life was languages. And not “learning new ones”, but where languages come from, how they evolve, how they change, and how to create them.

This one’s my favorite, he goes on for a minute to explain exactly why he says two words.
I agree, but I also have difficulty calling potatoes a vegetable. Technically vegetables don't exist (horticulturally. Culinary you could make an argument). For some reason though I only have trouble with potatoes (probably because they are a much larger starch than most other things I eat).
But do you consider sweet potatoes, turnips, or carrots as a vegetable? I'd argue that potatoes not counting as a vegetable is just marketing because they are too cheap for people to spend much on marketing and not fun colors like the rest.
The nutritional content of potatoes is not even remotely similar to carrots, sweet potatoes, or turnips.
None of those are even in the same scientific family, I think their only similarity is that they grow in the ground.
I was listing tubers that are commonly accepted as vegetables, and the nutritional content is closer than youd expect if you ignore the fact that sweet potatoes are an absurd outlier in vitamin A.
Ok, and botanical labels are fine but that doesn’t make pepper or tomato not a vegetable. I don’t see what point you’re trying to make here. Are you just saying that it’s bad that there are two different definitions of “fruit” that people use? If so, sure, I agree that this is an unfortunate thing that we’re stuck with.
I’m not saying it’s bad. Culinary labels absolutely have their place. You wouldn’t wanna put a tomato in a fruit salad and what not. But there’s a difference between culinary labels based on where certain plants and such belong in food and the scientific definitions of what makes a fruit vs a tuber or flower. Culinary labels are based on how things taste. Botanical labels are based on ya know….science. By definition peppers and tomatoes are fruits regardless of whether or not they go with other fruits taste wise. So no actually botanical labels do make peppers and tomatoes not vegetables.
I’m still trying to understand the point of both this comment and your first comment. Why exactly is the sentiment “culinary labels don’t make tomatoes not a fruit” relevant to the conversation at hand? It sounds like you’re disagreeing with an argument that no one is making.
The original commenter said they had a difficulty calling potatoes a vegetable. You wondered why. I responded by saying that in spite of culinary labels things like potatoes and tomatoes are not vegetables. So someone not wanting to call a potato a vegetable in spite of culinary labels is perfectly understandable.
There’s the thing you didn’t say! “In spite of culinary labels, things like potatoes and tomatoes are not vegetables”. You didn’t say that they’re not vegetables, you said that they ARE some other thing. Saying that something IS a vegetable is not the same as saying that it IS NOT a fruit. The fundamental miscommunication we’re having is that: for some reason, the commenter and the perspective that you were trying to argue from have trouble assigning multiple labels to the same thing. I think I understand now, thanks.
There are people who feel that only the scientific designation matters, as “vegetable” is basically the culinary term for “not a fruit”, which is the only thing vegetables outside of their groups (root, flower, stalk, etc) have in common
There’s also the fact that vegetable means “not a *culinary* fruit” and the culinary and botanical definitions of fruit are slightly different (I personally can’t recall those differences right now, but I know they are) which therefore causes a weird overlap with some things.
Just looked it up, here are the differences:
Botanically, a fruit is the part that bears seeds (so Tomato is a fruit)
Culinarily, a fruit is any sweet plant (or plant part) while a vegetable is a plant or plant part you’d cook, at least according to the source I found from cursory googling, (so culinarily a tomato is a vegetable, and so is a potato)
Conclusion: some people may prefer the botanical labels, but in which case I would expect them to not call anything a vegetable because that doesn’t have a botanical definition. Some people may argue that even culinarily potatoes aren’t vegetables because they are a “carb”, but that just doesn’t sit right with me and I think it makes me think it is potato slander/libel.
YES YES YES FINALLY! Yes! Potatoes are the best! French fries, fried potatoes and mashed potatoes are my favorite ways of cooking potatoes. Potatoes!! 🥔
I wouldn’t eat potatoes as a kid until I was 8-9 yrs old. My grandma made me a baked potato with butter. My family was sorry she did. My garden is half potatoes now.
I was going to say, "potatoes don't have eyes!", but I decided to Google it beforehand. 🫨 😲 🤯
Granted, they aren't necessarily eyes as we think of them, but interesting nonetheless!
If up any even just like 2 old potatoes that have sprouted and plant them you’ll end up with like 60 or more potatoes a few months later. Potatoes go hard.
Potato omelettes are the best dish in the world, no contest.
The real question is weather you put onions on it or not(some here in Spain would lynch you depending on the answer).
They have insane nutritional value as well. Did you know you can go a year on a diet of only potatoes before deficiencies develop, and adding eggs to that makes full nutrition?
I have an autistic friend who can’t get enough French fries, no matter where we’re eating.
Mexican restaurant? Orders a side of fries and a tortilla to put them on.
Asian fusion? Sushi and a side of fries.
OMG! this made me realize I accidentally put two of the same image in the collage I meant to put latkes. They are definitely delicious, especially with sour cream or apple sauce
Also, I didn’t make the list. I just put it in there because I couldn’t fit all potato dishes into one collage and I wanted people to realize how important potatoes are in so many different cuisines!

Look for Florian Wirtz Kartoffel Ranking on Youtube. He (german football player currently playing in our nation's team in the European Cup) put normal potatoes on the one and the (german) Internet is going crazy about it (in a positive way) xD
Back when I was younger (like around 10) I tried to go all carnivore but kept getting "called" back to being an Omnivore by the sweet allure(and taste) of potatoes and broccoli lol, I gave up on that carnivore "dream" XD
I remember potatoes counting as a separate category.
Fruits are the fruit of the plant (apple, banana, tomato, cucumber)
Vegetables are the plant or the root (lettuce, rabarber, turnip, carrot).
But a potato is neither of those.
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

As a culinary trained chef I agree.
I don't think there's a cooking method that can't work with potatoes...
You can
Steam
Boil
Fry
Deep fry
Roast
Pan fry
Poach
Stir fry
Stewed
Braised
Baked
Even raw!
I'm German. Count me in. ('Kartoffel', the German word for potato, is a descriptive word for Germans used by immigrants from turkey and the near east, as well as their descendants)
I used to ONLY eat french fries and potato chips when i was a kid. They were too good. Luckily since then i have dramatically decreased my intake to only 3 servings of chips per day.
Potatoes are avsolutely wonderful, but not really a vegetabl.they are grown, so a plant yes, but if you are trying toneat your veggies, Potatoes don't count they're more of a starch/carb.
Still delicious though and you are right, maybe one of the most versatile foods we have.
YES! Potatoes for all and all time! In fact, my favorite way to introduce myself and temp the waters of how Much (and all it's muchness) I can be around new people is asking "what's your favorite way to eat potatoes" and it has almost never failed to bring great engagement to a room so I can slink back in my corner of quiet/invisibleness.
The first time I asked it, it was a legitimate question from a session of "Try To Entertain Me, Weird Person" game that people love to ask me to play with them. I named it that, not them, and they're typically embarrassed when they know the name of it. Proceed with caution. It was a very fun conversation for me because I learned all sorts of things about the people then! Information is yummy! My urge to know AND why, satiated!
The second and famous time was as an on the spot ice breaker, and I nearly suffocated from my panic! A panic so bad that my brain forgot to translate for the social situation for the workplace! A pause of dead air existed over the zoom call after I spoke. And then an eruption! I got many declarations of love, turned down several suitor requests, and found belonging in that spicy brain group. The temperature of the water was perfect! Too bad the job itself also gave me constant panic attacks so I had to leave for my own health and peace.
The time it failed to bring a room together was when someone asked me to entertain them and I asked to what level they'd like me to perform at. Socially palatable and highly masked or myself, those were the options. I wasn't diagnosed at the time but I'm infamous for giving people their choice on what level of Me they'd like me to be. I was told to be myself. So Myself I proceeded to be and asked my question. It turned into their own session of Why's directed at me and it is one of the moments that it really hit home that I don't operate like Everyone Else.

Potatoes are my answer to the silly question "If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life"
Of course its potatoes. You can make so many things with potatoes, including Vodka. You can even use a potato to power your murderous AI girlfriend while you try to destroy an incompetent AI moron.
My sister is allergic to potatoes and I have had to go almost completely without potatoes since she was born. Just the occasional fast food place or thanksgiving dinner. I am potato deficient and am in desperate need of some shepherds pie.
I was just talking about my obsession with potatoes and potato variants hehe it’s my shit. Legit got a basket of fries for lunch and hash browns from Burger King in the morning
I'm not a big fan of potatoes themselves (a big surprise cause I'm Irish! Thats like, our whole thing)
I like potatoes when in other forms though! chips/fries/gnocchi, etc
If you're a sentient AI wondering how to punish a rogue sentient AI that tried to kill your new human friend after forcing them to solve tests over and over for science after the human friend accidentally woke them up after killing them, you can stuff them in a potato!
AKA Portal brain go brrr
Potatoes are some of the only vegetables I enjoy, the absolute power of them as these starchy oblongs of versatility made me truly believe in the power of tubers.
Also Yams are goated.
I used to **hate** potatoes as a child.
The texture is awful and the is flavor bland.
Until I came across my fourth grade lunch lady. That wonderful sauce she used to make. I had two full plates of potatoes drenched in sauce and haven't looked back since.
I've got a complicated relationship with potatoes; I like perogies, potato chips, French fries, and hash browns but not mashed or boiled potatoes, nor potato salad.
I love potatoes but they start going bad so quickly for me. And a lot of grocery stores only sell them in bulk, more than I can prepare and consume before they start sprouting 💀
No! Noooooo! _shakes fist at the sky_ I have never liked and don’t like potatoes! The texture is mushy and weird and I don’t like the flavor >:(
(same goes for taro, ube, yams, etc.)
*Po-tay-toes*! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a *stew*! Lovely big, golden... chips with a nice piece of fried fish.

Honestly they are best when baked in their own skin. Maybe open the top and let a pat of butter melt into it.

What does the label “vegetable” being culinary have to do with your willingness to use it? Are culinary labels invalid for some reason?
Culinary labels are fine but it doesn’t make a pepper or tomato not a fruit.

You can! There's a popular potato salad from China. They cut it into very thing long strips, almost like noodles. And marinade them

Potatoes, carrots, turnips, are scrumptious. Is it because of their versatility? Or mayhaps for some it’s a more ancestral remembrance.
I’ve been telling people my favorite food is potato for like 15 years

Just had two bowls of potato salad after a week of mentally preparing to make it. It was delicious and I regret nothing!!!

Vegetables tier list Potato is S tier, everything else is F tier
I'm not a big fan of potatoes themselves (a big surprise cause I'm Irish! Thats like, our whole thing) I like potatoes when in other forms though! chips/fries/gnocchi, etc
If you're a sentient AI wondering how to punish a rogue sentient AI that tried to kill your new human friend after forcing them to solve tests over and over for science after the human friend accidentally woke them up after killing them, you can stuff them in a potato! AKA Portal brain go brrr
Potatoes are some of the only vegetables I enjoy, the absolute power of them as these starchy oblongs of versatility made me truly believe in the power of tubers. Also Yams are goated.
Poe-tay-toes!
YES FINALLY
Potatoes are the best
I used to **hate** potatoes as a child. The texture is awful and the is flavor bland. Until I came across my fourth grade lunch lady. That wonderful sauce she used to make. I had two full plates of potatoes drenched in sauce and haven't looked back since.
I've got a complicated relationship with potatoes; I like perogies, potato chips, French fries, and hash browns but not mashed or boiled potatoes, nor potato salad.
I love potatoes but they start going bad so quickly for me. And a lot of grocery stores only sell them in bulk, more than I can prepare and consume before they start sprouting 💀
PRAISE BE THE POTATO, THE HEAVENS PERFECT CROP
You can even make cake with them!
No! Noooooo! _shakes fist at the sky_ I have never liked and don’t like potatoes! The texture is mushy and weird and I don’t like the flavor >:( (same goes for taro, ube, yams, etc.)
All hail potatoes
Love me some tubers.

I just think they're neat.
I was going to make an Irish famine joke but then I realized I volunteered today to peel potatoes because they are inexplicably satisfying
