Artificial Potatoes - PH

PhotoHunt theme :  Fresh & Artificial


My girlfriends and I met for lunch at a Japanese restaurant which is well-known for its air-flown vegetables from Japan.

There are artificial potatoes today!

hmmm....I wonder how does it taste. Curious, I picked one. It's a plastic food model that looks amazingly real! Who would buy an artificial potato for S$5 (US$4)? You can't eat it.  -_-


I prefer a baked fresh potato, piping hot from the oven with oodles of melted Cheddar cheese. yum.

Rice is our staple food but the consumption of fresh potatoes is increasing in Singapore as more consumers are including potatoes in thier meals as part of a healthier lifestyle.

    Potatoes are healthier than rice? Really? Speaking of healthy: I do wish that brown rice was available at more restaurants but alas...

    Well I think in Japan they put out the artificial food (like potatoes)out on a platter so you know what you can eat in the restaurant. They are usually in the window as display. Well I had rice tonight, baked yams last night and mashed potatoes the night before that. Pretty starchy but so good.

    I am all with you about the artificial potato - and you must remember to cook the potato with the skin to make it healthier than rice!
