Give it to me straight /ck/, do my potatoes have aids?
There's this circular ring on ALL of them, in the EXACT same location. I don't understand it, it can't be rot right? What the fuck is it! I want to make mashed potatoes but these are all I have and I don't want to die from this shit. Should I just kill myself now rather either than live without mashed potatoes or get tater-aids?
It's called bacterial ring rot, it's a somewhat common disease of the potato plant and poses zero threat to humans. Potatoes with ring rot are sold and consumed all around the world and ring rot does not disqualify potatoes from being sold because it does not affect the quality or safety of the potato.

Cook and eat it you fucking pussy.
Unless the texture is fucked or it smells rotten, just eat it.
HOLD UP

I posted it here before. and I roasted it and ate it.

turns out it was caused by some viral infection and the crystals are proteins
