Well, this is depressing. It's taken me hours to work out how to get onto this community from another instance, and now that I'm here there are no comments showing. I guess they are still bouncing around the internet somewhere and I'll be able to see them soon.

It'll all work out. Here, have a potatoπŸ₯”. Potatoes make everything better.

I can confirm. This person knows what they're talking about.

hmm, still no food. I guess I'll have to rumage around and see what I can find for myself.

Donuts? Nope, still out of stock. Can't see any bacon. No mash either, with or without brown sugar. Oh, there is a potato! That'll microwave up great. I live to fight another day.

There's plenty here if anyone else wants one, help yourself. πŸ₯”πŸ₯”πŸ₯”πŸ₯”πŸ₯”πŸ₯”πŸ₯”πŸ₯”πŸ₯”

Mash with brown sugar? As in mashed potatoes? With brown sugar? Is that really a thing? I'm both intrigued, and slightly concerned

A specialty of the breakfast chef on the Reddit Daily Discussion Thread. Not generally seen elsewhere, especially in real life. At least I hope not🀣

Ah, OK. thanks for clarifying.

Now that I think about it there are donuts and cakes that use potato as one of, if not their only starch. So as long as you had a relatively plain mash (potato, milk or cream, very little salt), adding brown sugar might not be terrible. Next time I make mash (which I assume will be fairly soon) I'll put some aside and try it. Then I'll report back on that day's random thread.

Potatoes are always welcome, thank you! πŸ˜ƒ

I for one am trying to use Jerboa more. Communities seem to be popping up. Found my drawing people for instance.
