Rank your carbs

[badjak]

I also find it a difficult question.
I go through phases.
But
1- rice and bread
2 - potatoes & pasta.

I like SE asian food, so Jasmine rice is something I eat often. If I don't feel like rice, I sub with noodles.
But I do like potatoes every now and again.

Then bread...
I like good bread. If I had to base it on the bread commonly available here, then bread would come last.
But home baked comes somewhere near the top

Love potatoes, but they need lots of time to cook, so they'll come in 4th.

Do they? It depends how you cook them. For mashed, cut them small and they boil in 15 mins. Or microwave in less.

Frequency at the moment:
bread
pasta
corn (tortillas, posole and other corn main carbs)
brown rice, white rice potatoes,

Preference and frequency change depending on season/time of year, dishes being eaten.

I like all carbs pretty equally.

I hadn't thought of corn but of course its a staple carb in Mexico.

here they are steamed in 10 minutes if that. Carrots take longer.

I like to cook them whole, with the skins on, so they take time. Yes, you can cut them up small, but that's an additional step of peeling and chopping - unlike rice and pasta, which require no prepping.

I like to cook them whole with the skins on too.

In this particular locality it's also a staple. Goes into all types of preparations.

And also I hadn't thought of beans which we eat very often. Along with other pulses they're a carb too, really.

Ditto. Pretty fast that way.

I don't generally automatically think of potatoes for mealtimes as we weren't a meatnpotatoes family growing up. More rice, bread, pasta - but even so, not too heavy on the starchy carbs in general tho. Didn't always have mainstay carbs with a meal. Lots of protein, fruit and veg.
