G M Potato

Quote:
The Agriculture Department on Friday approved the first genetically modified potato for commercial planting in the United States, a move likely to draw the ire of groups opposed to artificial manipulation of foods.

The Innate potato, developed by the J.R. Simplot Co., is engineered to contain less of a suspected human carcinogen that occurs when a conventional potato is fried, and is also less prone to bruising during transport.

Boise, Idaho-based Simplot is a major supplier of frozen french fries to fast-food giant McDonald’s.

Cut that GM sumbitch into shoestrings, throw them nasty, GM bastids in some 275° oil, and hand them bitches to me.

I'm fat, I like eating, and I don't give a fuck.

That's because we're sophisticated, unlike the simple folk in the old country.

A pin-point of light on the horizon,
Quote:
The next day, back at the apartment where I was staying, I lifted the lid off a pot of boiling potatoes. Pungent ribbons of steam curled their way into my nose: the smell of newly dried cornstalks and wet earth mingled with something much sweeter, like that first bite of perfectly ripe peach. A tan one decorated with swirls of cherry tasted distinctly of roasted chestnuts. Another, with deep purple skin and white flesh marbled pink, had the flavor of caramelized beets. One daffodil yellow potato was unbelievably buttery. Many were more dense and filling than I expected.

Purple potatoes aren't necessarily GM. There are some that have been bred that way here in the UK. They are delish!
