Favorite of the 3 staples? Potatoes, rice or pasta?

[Sills]

Pasta is my favorite. I love all kinds of different pasta dishes and could eat it everyday. My second favorite would be rice with potatoes coming up a distant third.

I was about to quote Aristotle now... but I WILL resist!

Was it this one?

"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

Because it definitely pertains to me, and I'm glad you brought it up.

I use to eat staples.

I like rice, otherwise.

Went with "none" because I prefer eating healthy foods and am not interested in diabetes.

I would agree if you said "Im not interested in dental problems of any sort" but that ? No, simply wrong.

Picked rice, I like rice.

Just another bonus that goes with my perfect diet.

You can live on a diet of nothing but potatoes. With the others, you'd develop deficiency diseases.

Pasta seems out of place. Feels like it should be flour. But, either way, potato...

Pasta should have been flour...

Potatoes and rice tend to hold less flavor than pasta in my experience.

and what does this so called perfect diet consist of? Well it doesn't matter anyways seeing as you will die same as me and every one else in this thread.

also after your first comment this popped in my head

Rice, especially Asian rice. I love pasta too, it's like my 2nd favorite kind of food.

Easy: Gnocchi = Pasta + Potato, all in one delicious bite. Hmmm.

I eat nothing but cinnabons (classic, no nuts) because this thread taught me that they are nutritious.

Meat, fish, fowl, eggs, vegetables, seeds, nuts, sparing fruits (preferring fruits like avocado over pineapple). Generally a lot of vegetables with some form of a flesh protein, lots of salads with nuts/seeds/shrimp/whatever meat I have left over, and sweet potatoes if I'm trying to get some gains at the gym.

edit: and I drink water or tea, and if it's alcohol time it'll be some nice whisky or maybe a strong red wine if it's fancy time.

Wanna play this game? Very well then...

"In actions there is excess and deficiency and the mean; but virtue is conversant with passions and actions and in them both excess and deficiency are faults and are blamed but the mean is correctness and is praised; and both these are attributes of virtue... whereas excess and deficiency are vice."

Seems you're way off to finding "excellence"... good luck though!

Most definitely taters.

So I'm way off from finding excellence because I have an excess of health and physical fitness? Am I deficient in eating shitty food? I'm confused.

Pasta is number one for me, next potatoes, then rice.

I knew it, potatoes are leading.
