But strictly speaking 'Carbs', and not 'Fat', takes the cake: A freshly dug potatoes contain 78 per cent water, 18 per cent starch, 2.2 per cent protein, 1 per cent ash (inorganic constituents), and 0.1 per cent fat. About 75 per cent of the dry weight is carbohydrate. 21228@desicritics.org Sat, 9 Sep 2006 02:42:12 EDT http://desicritics.org/2006/09/08/080259.php#comment-21225 <i> The potato, in spite of being an essential ingredient in most of the cuisines, is considered a primary source of fat. </i> Fat? or carbs? 21225@desicritics.org Sat, 9 Sep 2006 02:27:58 EDT http://desicritics.org/2006/09/08/080259.php#comment-21215 Tanay, I'm afraid I can not answer your query.

IF Yes "Lastly, do not fail to observe the expression on the faces of your loved ones." what was the feedback of the loved ones. IF No tell me later once you are done with it.
