I think you might need to eat them raw for that to happen. One of my favourite meals at the moment consists of 2.5 Kg of potatoes (boiled and mashed) 1 Kg of onions (fried) and about a kilo of cheese. I mash a load of cheese and butter into the potatoes, add the fried onions and then put it into an oven dish and grate the rest of the cheese on top, and put it in they oven to melt the cheese. I'm not trying to boast or anything, but I can eat most of that at a sitting. So if 5 lbs of potatoes were lethal I'd have been dead years ago. Simple fare, but I can carry on eating it until I'm quite uncomfortable. In fact I think I'll make another one this evening.

Potatoes are in the solanaceae family along with the nightshades, so have the capacity to make a number of highly toxic alkaloids in their little solar powered chemical factories.
And here's what 2.5 Kg of potatoes, 1 Kg of onions and about 3/4 Kg of cheese looks like. That's my dinner this evening.

There's loads of oil floating to the surface of the cheese too. Lovely!

Har, har.. I'll be here all week, chicken inna basket!

Edit. That has to be 2k calories in spuds alone?

I would confess to being a bit of an "odd-ball" in that I really ascribe to the mantra "if a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing well".

Yesterday I noticed that the stainless steel sink in the utility room looked disgusting with all sorts of minging crud adhered everywhere. Best not to start a row with the missus, she only ever wipes stuff over and never does a deep clean (because it hurts her arthritic little handy-pands). So I spent about 30 minutes cleaning it so it looked like new. No problem it wasn't a hard job.

Today it was the cooker hob's turn. Same issues, looked like it had not been cleaned in about 5 years. Burnt & baked on grease etc. everywhere. All the gas-rings were burnt black and dried/caked baked on crap all over the pan-stands.

So while she was gardening (a chore she likes and I hate) I set to and cleaned every part of the hob with a range of utensils until I was satisfied (about 90 minutes work) due to the sheer scale of the crud burnt on in layers.

I was happy with the result. She said (when she came back in from her gardening "Yes, that really needed doing; glad you did it."

I just wish this cleaning urge extended to my Rangie. ;)

That pink paste is fab for things like that. When I am absolutely raging my oven sparkles.

Yes, I sometimes leave mine in longer to go a bit crispy but this evening I was a bit hungry so got it out early.
