Come on guys, you just aren't being fair to potatoes.
Sure, bacon has the wow, the pizzazz, the "it" factor. You take bacon home for the night and you will have a wild ride. But come morning, all you will have left is regret and longing.
Potatoes, on the other hand, are for life.
Think about it. What do you use bacon for? It can be a topping or a solo food, both acting as just regular old bacon.
Take a potato, and you can boil it, mash it, stick it in a stew. Baked potatoes. French fries. Chips. Hashbrowns. Desserts, appetizers, full on meals. Use it to make alcohol.
Take a potato home for the night, and in the morning it will be making breakfast for you. It will spend the day hanging out with you. It will stick around. It isn't just a single night of fun: potatoes will give you night after night of quality nourishment, and stick around during the day to be there for all of your other needs too.
It will even generate electricity. How can you argue in favor of bacon when it can't power your electronics?
No, potatoes easily win that battle. A single hot flame may be enticing, but it is the long slow burn that wins this fight.
