Meds side effects often affect otherwise uninvolved systems, and often enough rather to their detriment... ;(

Everything is a two-edged sword, and as far as
I can tell, doctors tend to wield their weapons
without full control.

A lot of doctors sure seem to... :)

Problem is that they're protected by the
extra-thick hilt of malpractice insurance,
so they can slash and hack at will without
much damage to themselves..

Potassium isn't an issue here, but as far as
protein goes, there are those who claim them
to be a good source (the potato lobby, mostly);
others say that potatoes give you more pure
starch than almost anything besides rice. One
possible issue is assaying the vegetable with
vs. without skin.

I did check my book, the Nutrition Bible, which gives all sorts of useful info about foods and their composition, various nutritional supplements, additives, etc, and other similar info... I checked it for potatoes and protein in general... forgot to check the entry for eggplant, but I'll

How many amino acids does a food have to contain
in order to have it count as a protein food?

do that later... A large baked potato with skin supposedly has 5gm of protein... but it isn't a complete protein... I think it, like the
grains, is deficient in lysine...

One of the points of the article, which I read
half a century ago and whose details are not
well recalled, is that a food that adds only
one or two of the building blocks can be the
missing piece in a particular jigsaw puzzle,
even if it's not by itself anything anyone
would deem a protein food.

Oh, well.... next time maybe you can get him to hold off at least until others have a chance to be educated.... ;)

He's an irresistable force when it comes to food,
6 1/2 feet tall and close to 400 lb. I suppose a
sign saying "save for main event" might have given
him pause for 30 seconds or so.

I see why they call him Big Chris... ;) You'd probably have to hide the stuff to save it for the rest... ;)

Yes - if one were unkind, one might call him
Herbert.

In the Delmarva area, they really like salty
foods.

Hadn't thought so much of it as salty, but I suppose it is... something
else in it dominates for me, not sure what...

It's the clove and nutmeg that gets me most.

I'm off to Selkirk Shores SP in the morning... will be almost certainly totally offline for a week... coming home on Saturday next... might have
some messages to upload when I return, maybe... :)

But what's to become of us in the meantime?

In theory, anyway...

How many amino acids does a food have to contain
in order to have it count as a protein food?

Good question... it would appear that (most of) the amino acids tracked
are present in some sort of quantity in many veggies, so there would be
a listing for grams of protein (whether or not complete)... whether or
not it counts as a protein food thereby could be another issue... ;)

do that later... A large baked potato with skin supposedly has 5gm of protein... but it isn't a complete protein... I think it, like the
grains, is deficient in lysine...

JimW corrected that... it does have lysine, but is deficient in two
others... and is complemented by cornmeal... I still haven't checked eggplant... ;)

Right... I remember that sort of info from when I was more into it
all... ;)

As in... Hoover...?

Haven't really analyzed it properly... and mostly tend to avoid it,
anyway... ;)

But what's to become of us in the meantime?

You seem to have survived ok... ;) I found about 100 messages for the
week waiting for download when I got back... and did have a reply packet
that brought me up to date for my departure date when I returned... ;)

As it turned out, not only did I not have telnet access, I also barely
had phone service... most of the time it showed as No Service, and when
it did say Home, I'd only have one signal strength bar... I'm sure that
when we were there 2 years ago the service was at least a little
better.... :)

From looking at that, I don't see anything that jumps out at me as a
taste that would have been dominant or intrusive... dunno... maybe I'll
need to revisit the taste... ;)
