    Hmm, the anatomy of a potato is highly varied from one to the next, so while this might present as a buttato, it might in fact be a camel toetato.

      Fine by me! You know what they say: buttato, camel toetato, it’s all starch on the inside. ;)

    Beans are far more versatile imo. Soy alone is sooo useful to me as a vegetarian.

    Now if instead it was nightshades vs legumes, I would have a hard time picking because tomatoes are the best, and so are potatoes. And what would I even do without peppers and spicy food.

    But legumes have so many amazing plants like soy/black/chili/garbanzo beans and peas. TVP is made usually from soy or pea protein and is a super useful source of protein. Legumes are also “nitrogen fixers”, meaning they produce bioavailabile nitrogen rich soil.

    I think I would have to give the win to legumes because I can survive on a diet predominantly filled with legumes but not really just potatoes/tomatoes/peppers/eggplants. I need protein.
