Something awful I had to eat

Writing about my favorite meal made me think about my second favorite meal which is mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, last night I had an attempted version of mashed potatoes that almost made me want to abandon my love of mashed potatoes (I never ever thought that I would say that!). I love food in general and will eat almost anything, so when I say that something is awful it is certifiably awful. When I stuck my spoon into the bowl of mashed potatoes on my table at the BLUU, I could tell right away that something wasn't right. The bouncy texture of the potatoes wiggled as my spoon dug into them. Despite my apprehension, I tried the potatoes--a substantial mistake. They were chewy! Mashed potatoes are supposed to be velvety and smooth, not rubbery. I am positive that if I had thrown them against the wall they would have bounced like a basketball. My friend concluded that they were made out of the cardboard box that the potatoes come packaged in, not the actual potatoes. I believe her and if you had tasted those potatoes you would too.
