Would you rather eat a totato (potato that tastes like a tomato) or a pomato (tomato that tastes like a potato)?

What's the texture situations on these?
I imagined one is like a potato and the other a tomato, just with the flavours swapped.
Ok then I'm definitely going for the pomato. That's basically like a mashed potato in a nice skin to help keep it's shape.
Can I make pomato fries? Do they need ketchup?
"What this tomato needs is some tomato sauce."
"Eureka! I have invented the self-ketchuping french fry!"
Totato. I like the flavor, but not the texture, of tomatoes.
i was gonna comment the same exact thing lol
To me it's obviously the potato that tastes like tomato. I use tomatoes in so many dishes. Potatoes don't taste nearly as good as a tomato. Heck, even fried potatoes need tomato: fries with ketchup!
Absolutely. There's no real use for the opposite.
I'll have a potomatato
What a wonderful phrase!
Could you imagine if this was a thing? Foods with flavor profiles switched with texture profiles of other foods?
Think about it:
We could actually achieve…. STEAK fries.
Dice 'em both, cook 'em together and eat them both.
Tomato and potato work together, so I figure that totato and pomato should too.
Totato. I add tomato flavoring to potato a lot, but never the other way around.
Is the pomato cooked first? If not, then I'd rather have the totato.
Absolutely.
Can we cook them? If not, I want the tomato that tastes like potato. If we can cook them, switch that.
Totato, tomato taste without the weird gross tomato texture.
pomato hands down.
disagree
Potato flavored tomato? A bland tomato? I already eat those fried with egg wash and cornmeal. (One large tomato is enough for 1-2 people, don’t repeat my mistake. We ate fried green tomatoes for days in multiple forms.)
A tomato flavored potato? That’ll condense some of my recipes and ruin others. But also a yes.
No.
No
Worst part about a tomato has always been the texture so this is pretty easy I'm going for that totato.
Fun fact, I recently learned there is a study claiming that potatoes are actually a cross between tomato and tuberosum
Neither. If I want to taste a tomato, I'll eat a tomato.
