Default do you reinforce your mashed potatos with corn?

Ah do.







It's a tremendous aid in strengthening the walls of the mashed potatos thus enabling it to hold more gravy without springing leaks and touching other food items on your plate.

I really hate when that happens.

i hate when the potatoes spring a leak. it's a tragedy dwarfed only by the co-mingling of gravy and other foods. i don't like my food mixed together.

but the corn thing...nope, couldn't do it. cause then corn would be in the potatoes. ugh.

I simply adore the way you wove "dwarf" in your food...I mean post.

You know the damage gravy leaks can do,but yet won't use corn reinforcement? What have you found to work as a surrogate reinforcing material?

No.

I hate mashed potatoes and if forced to so much as have them on my plate (ie, my parents at Thanksgiving but it's gotta be a small portion cause i need room for that BIG helping of guilt!), I imagine shaping that lifeless glob of white goo into little snowmen and horsies and they could have snowball fights and, and.....

Maybe you could start a thread and list different foods and what they represent.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Cat's Meow fences as an alternative reinforcing tool...although it doesn't reinforce..as it were...it's containment charateristics when using refried beans as a"seal" bewteen them is excellent.

Yes.
I saw a whole show
on the discovery channel.
They built the
Hoover dam with just this
recipe. Men were trapped
in it and all while constructing
the Monster. A tasteful way
to go.


Also good to use on roadside
bombs. Really dissapates all that
energy.

Morton did you take a course
in Food Engineering?

Course: 302 Egg White Hair-Doo Structural Integrity
(MIT, a very popular course taught by the late Julia Child)

I don't mix any of my foods and only eat one food item on my plate at a time before moving onto the next.
