I don't like it when you're watching me eat.

Or, you know, you leave the most nutritious part of the potato on...

Absolute bullshit. This is the same school of thought that "The crust of the bread is where all the vitamins are" comes from

OK jackass*, explain to me how during the baking process, all the vitamins and nutrients that already exist in the dough get concentrated and moved to the outside of the bread.

I've literally never heard or seen this being posited anywhere. The crust is, of course, the best part of the bread because it's nice and crunchy but that's got nothing to do with nutrition.

You should leave the potato skins on for flavor, if there is more nutrition then that is also good.

Pretty sure the crust thing comes from mums trying to get their kids to eat a whole sandwich and not leave half the drat thing because they don't like crusts.

No, the crust doesn't have all the nutrients, but it has a different chemical composition.

Why are American kids so picky about their bread crust? It's delicious! Just eat the drat thing. Can't you chew or something? My nephew started eating bread crust as soon as he got his first teeth.

I think of that as a U.K. thing.

Or maybe it's a sitcom/ children's book thing that doesn't happen in real life? :shrug:

Crusts have a different texture. Crusts are also at the edge of the sandwich where there are generally less fillings.

Actually, as an adult I still eat sandwiches crust-first so I can get them out of the way with and focus on the good sandwich in the middle.

That's a myth.

Not so much. Given the volume of skin versus flesh and the relative nutritive value of each, the skin IS the most nutritious. I suppose I should have said, "by volume". Besides, I could further argue, by locking in the nutrition of the flesh, it is.

how exactly do you think potatoes are made?

the last time i saw a vegetable peeling argument on these forums i learned that there are people who peel carrots before using them, those are the people we should be worried about

With modern fluffy bread the crust is much firmer than the interior.

No part of wonderbread is crunchy. The crust has the texture of a Styrofoam cup.



Ye olde european breads are a whole different story. The crust is nice, and the middle isn't so soft that you risk tearing it with peanutbutter.






But those don't fit in my toaster so fuckit.



Mmm, white and flavourless, just like mom used to make.

The worst part of that lifehack video is that he didn't put any spices on his potatoes. Not even salt! Just a dash of honey. Those must be so incredibly bland.

And maybe you're not getting rid of nutrients when you peel your potatoes, but you're throwing away a lot of perfectly good potato flesh. Just wash them lightly and cut away any bad spots.

There was salt added at some point (right before the flour I think), but only so much that he might as well not have bothered

So much salt that they're literally what you add to a dish if you accidentally added too much salt

in retrospect this was probably advice intended for casseroles and the like

Listen.

My heart can go gently caress itself. It doesn't even have a particularly good rhythm!

Also your body can handle processing salt, unless you've got a medical disease.

If your heart walks without rhythm, it won't attract the heartworm. And when it comes to tasty spice alternatives, my weapon of choice is Mrs. Dash with a sprinkle of MSG.
