noodles (pasta), potatoes, rice, or couscous...

Poll question: noodles (pasta), potatoes, rice, or couscous...

:)

[Redstone]

1. Pasta first, by a mile. Then taters.

Pasta is more versatile than any other starch. Rice is just, well, rice.

[bridgit]

14. oh yeah, this is the growingst valley, just toss a seed out the window...

6. I voted for rice,

just 'cause that is what we're having - Jazmine, with chicken curry.

Really depends what you are having with.

[bridgit]

[In_The_Wind]

18. brown rice

[bridgit]

19. brown rice is happ'n stuff...

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

20. Sometimes nothin' else will do. I used to love it over raw spinach.

:hi:

[u4ic]

21. Depends on what it's being served with

Pasta is only with some type of sauce, as I'm gluten free and brown rice pasta is pretty unappetizing with just butter or olive oil.

I love rice, especially brown rice and this blend: http://www.lundberg.com/products/rice_og_wildblend.shtml

I don't eat a lot of potatoes, but for a treat I'll make roast garlic and rosemary potatoes, if I'm broiling chicken or lamb.

Most of the time, however, I have salad and other veggies rather than starches.

[bridgit]

34. i think that is most reasonable...the rif about the salads as well..

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

22. pasta, for reals...

making some right this moment, in fact :D

[evirus]

23. Noodles

couscous is too fine, its like eating large grains of sand

[recoveringdittohed]

24. Any rice except Condoleezza

Wild, minute, Grantland, Jerry almost any rice

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

25. nooooooooooooodles

are the best. . . except for the caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarbs

[TheBaldyMan]

26. Could we have a "I love all starchy carbs option" please

I opted for potatoes but I really love 'em all.

[tjwmason]

27. All of the above.

I probably use couscous the least, but it's still very wonderful and yummy in the right recipes.

[idgiehkt]

28. to me, couscous just tastes like it wants to be grits when it grows up

I can't get into it.

[bridgit]

29. heh-heh...

:)

[MissMillie]

30. YES!!! ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!

why limit yourself? Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!

[bridgit]

33. if you ever HAVE to get food from a church food bank...

you'll likely not be receiving couscous however

[LibertyLover]

31. My heritage is Irish

so of course I vote for potatos. The problem is that my daughter is from China, so we wind up eating more rice and noodles because they are comfort food for her. There are times when I think if I see another grain of rice, I'll scream. :wow:

[philosophie_en_rose]

32. how about some gnocchi on a bed of rice with a side of couscous?

If I had diabetes, I would die.

[bridgit]

35. carb overload, hm, never thought of that...

:dilemma:

[Patiod]

36. Rice with a little butter, and a lot of chicken gravy

My comfort food dinner for when I'm depressed.

[1gobluedem]

37. Being of Irish descent, I just had to go with potatoes

But pasta is a close second.

I make au gratin potatoes with Black Diamond white cheddar that are to die for.

[bridgit]

38. potatoes yay, i like'em with the skins on too sometimes...
