Can your character cook potatoes?
>>44140711
No.
>>44140711
Yes
>>44140711
Maybe.
>>44140711
Poe-tay-toe is what?
>>44140711
Yes, They also count as inert organic material so i could also craft things from them.
>>44140711
>ForeverGM
No, but he can make them really really hot
>>44140711
Hell yeah. He doesn't have 14 firebolts/day for nothing. Maybe he could use one of his hundred candles too if he tried really hard.
>>44140711
>implying potatoes are native to totally not fantasy Europe
I'm playing a cockney goon who punches things to death. Maybe one day he can mash them, that's about it. Otherwise, he sticks to a normal diet of cigars and murder.

My character IS a potato
I think this really sums up everything about this question.
My character can cook anything. Even a rock. It's easy to cook a rock. You just put it into hot water.
>>44140711
>implying career pit fighters know how to cook anything
>>44140711
24 bonus in cooking at lvl 8 says yes
>>44140711
Yup, he can boil'em, mash'em, even stick'em in a stew. He just needs help carrying the burlap sack and get some tea going on as well
Why wouldn't all these things be in the setting?
>>44141748
Look potatoes are not exactly difficult to work with. If you handed one over to someone who'd never seen one before they'd PROBABLY be able to get at least a shitty soup out of it. I mean there's a risk that they'd try to use the leaves and poison you (potatoes and tomatoes are both members of the nightshade family and actually related enough that you can graft tomato tops onto potato bottoms to save planting space, but both of them only mostly have trace amounts of poison in the part we actually eat, it's the leaves and stem that you don't want to eat.)

Just dropped in to see what needs to be said has been said. Thanks for taking care of it.
>>44141748
Ah, there it is.

Hold up. Seriously?
>>44140711
he ought to, he is half native american.

So you just dropped in to see what condition our condition was in?

Quick google search says yes.

This is literally the most interesting thing I've learned on the chan, ever.
>>44145347
Yes.
Now obsolete. Some mad scientists have hybridized them. We live in strange times.

The fact that carrots used to be purple is still my number one useless /tg/-learned fact.

>Can your character cook potatoes?
Yes, but since he's a Human he prefers corn since he gets a racial wisdom bonus towards lore, cooking and eating/tasting.
>>44145512
I saw a picture of an avocado without the seed in the middle. It was just smooth avocado flesh all the way.
I want all avocado to be like that from now on. Can we get the scientists on that?
>>44145610
Humans fucking love corn.
>>44145523
Could this also work with Tomatillos?
>>44145649
You wouldn't after watching the documentary King Corn
>>44145649
You mean Americans and their lobbyists love corn.
>>44145668
>>44145661
I was referencing Prequel
Jesus Christ you guys
>>44140711
No, but he can count to it.
>>44145652
Tomatillos are a different genus so it's less likely I think, but maybe? If you've got room for a few pots maybe you should try it anon!

Can't even MENTION corn around humans without them getting excited:

I wasn't kidding when I said they got a racial bonus towards it.
Corn is serious Human business.
>>44145523
Are they both, like, normal?
This is seriously baking my goddamn noodle.
>>44145649
I prefer rice.
>>44145799
>baking my goddamn noodle
why would you bake a noodle? it'd just get super dry and hard, or burn
>>44145856
You've never had lasagna?
>>44145856
Noodle is old timey slang for one's mind anon.
Do you even Noodle Dance, son?

There's all sorts of seedless/pitless crops that have been made. Hell, they're arguably better for the environment than regular crops, especially if they're also modified to be pest resistant.
Luddites are the reason you don't have them on your table right now.
>>44145637
But half of the fun it's popping the seed out breh.
>>44145799
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomato
It's a graft. Apparently it's kind of tricky to get right, because the energy requirements of both plants can mean you just wind up with crappy tubers and fruits.
>>44146013
Yeah, I figured that it would be an incredibly hungry crop (which is probably why it wasn't economically exploited).
>>44146154
Never mind, I didn't realize it was as new as it was.
>>44141824
>an edge too sharp will chip easily
My character can barely remember his own name.
>>44140711
>feral diet perk
my character can eat pretty much anything raw without risk
>>44146013
What if
What if we grafted something with huge and stable leaves to a potato. Would you end up with super potatos?

>Can your character cook potatoes?
Not very well. He hasn't bought into the "cook tuber" skill and has to contend with a sizable armor penalty. So while it's possible, it's unlikely unless there are situational bonuses. Peas are, of course, a different story, as I made sure not to skimp on "knowledge: legume".
Pic somewhat related. It's the stupid DMPC who somehow always manages to cook stuff better than me. Bullshit Mary Sue.
>>44145470
Were you there for the horse anus thread? That was pretty educational too.
>>44145637
That'd cause the same problems we have with bananas, though. If they can't reproduce naturally there won't be any genetic diversity.
>>44140711
2 dots in Craft(Cooking) say yes, though her specialization in Cooking(Baking) says you'll likely end up with either baked potatoes or some kind of potato-bread. Or even a potato-cake.
>>44140711
how does one even fail to cook a potatoe?
>>44140711
More then that; he IS a potato!
A russet, to be specific.
>>44140711
He's from 1300's Europe so what the hell is potatoes?
But generally speaking - drop in a pot of boiling water and leave there until it gets soft should work here.
>>44145523
Okay, now I know what I want as a potted plant in my new apartment .
>>44140711
My character is Irish, he better damn well know how to cook a potato
>>44149732
How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irishman?______Zero_____
>>44140711
Literally yes.

Yes, they are native to my fantasy not-europe.
Banannas too.

Imagine potato trees. Imagine a tree with a root mass composed almost entirely of massive tubers. Imagine a potato tree that takes years to mature then can feed hundreds with the sheer mass of even a single tree potato. Imagine I know it's not actually possible you autistic fucks but imagine we have suspension of disbelief for the purpose of an interesting thing in a fictional universe.

Og can about count to potato.
Ug tribe throw potato in lizard skin full of water, leave on fire for some time.
Og think this stupid, but Ug tribe can do what they want.

What exactly kind of a racial bonus do people get towards corn, exactly? Growing it, cooking it, making it into pretty patterns, etc.?

Cultivation, Cooking and knowledge/lore checks about Corn.
Humans & Centaurs are the only races that grow Corn- they are privy to all it's corny secrets & mysteries.
>>44149732
But do you cook it now, or drink it later?
