I’d absolutely try the Poulette potato 🍗🥔

I love when science and tradition meet on the plate. A chicken-flavored potato reminds me of Japanese snack culture, where chips taste like everything from grilled squid to steak. As long as it’s safe and transparently developed, I’d be curious to taste it roasted, maybe with herbs, to see how close it gets to real chicken.

If there is a health harmlessness study, scientists who made this study should be forced to eat those potatoes at least 2 years and than should be studied next 5 years if they don't develop some digustingly looking mutations. Then 10 year long study if they didn't develop any carcinoma. If all 3 studies are negative I would try, otherwise no.
I trust science but not unconditionally.

Melody90 · Answer

No, I wouldn't. I prefer natural food and don't see the point of genetically engineering a potato to taste like chicken. A potato is a potato, and chicken is chicken. Not everything needs to be genetically modified just to imitate something else.

Think I'll pass.
Alternatively when making chips parboil your potatoes in chicken stock before deep frying. Or if you really want to chest crumble a chicken stock cube into a powder and season your potatoes after cooking. Works well with homemade crisps.

I mean, i'm fine with keeping my chicken and potatoes separate. Besides didn't Burger King already beat them to the punch with "chicken fries"?😆

I might try it more out of curiosity. Provided the acquired the chicken flavor in some NON-ghoulish way.😆
