THE CHOCCY POTATOES EXPERIMENT
idk what else to call this
First off, many thanks goes to @foursixtwonineoh-pizzas-of-lego for taking one for the team and trying this first. I saw ur post, and went like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Kudos to you for being an accurate peer review, but I wanted to try and give them proper justice. Because: hypothesis, it's essentially the same thing and wouldn't taste that bad, just maybe a bit sweeter. but also 2) mashed potatoes tastes better if u use real potatoes not the powdered, instant kind (personal preference).
So I did what any other bored human being would do an immediately conscripted the Birb Bestie(TM) to join in my cause (namely to let me desecrate her kitchen and her potatoes for food crimes and i'd supply the choccy milk).
(is this really even a food crime if we are still following the three chief guidelines of highests of chefs and bestests of traveling companions, samwise gamgee? Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew?)
(ok so now that that's out of my system, we continue)
The very scientific process:
peel potatoes (apparently i do this wrong and was not allowed to continue to further steps, So i plan tumblr post and take pics that i can't end up using bc phone died on my way home from dropping friend off)
chop potatoes in excruciatingly smol pieces so they cook faster.
enjoy quality time with bestie and get Hyped
Bestie Remembers that You Must Add Water to Potatoes and goes to put smol amount of water in pot (she is more exact with measurements but also we only did two potatoes so didn't need a lot).
quick vibe break while things cook, also try the Drink One of the Tumblr Moots Recommended
6. Mash and add choccy milk
The Results:
looks slightly pink but also same vibe of "ITS THE GREY STUFF" from beauty and the beast (I used true moo choccy milk may have affected results)
It tastes like normal
no seriously, it tastes like normal mashed potatoes there's no real hint of chocolate
*add butter and salt* WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT TASTES LIKE NORMAL MASHED POTATOES
*adds more choccy milk* ⇾ proceeds to taste like chocolate milk with stuff in it. like orange juice with pulp kinda vibe.
kinda relieved it didn't taste bad but also kinda wished it did *something*
took one trip to grab actual lunch and one screening of the barbie movie.
Had to come home and explain to my mother why this was worth going out and spending 1.89 on chocolate milk and consider this an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon (she still doesn't get i; i think she thinks I'm an idiot, which yk, not an unreasonable conclusion.)
