Not heard of that before! Is it a 'thing' or is it just yous? Is it the crunch?

Well, considering my wife and I grew up nearly a thousand miles apart and in very different socioeconomic circumstances, it’s not just me (or my family).

I have been reading up on eating raw potatoes (which i knew were OK in small quantities)

Contains resistant starch​

Raw potatoes are an abundant source of starch; 70% to 80% of the total starch content in raw potatoes is made up of amylopectin, a resistant starch very similar to fiber.

Resistant starch is a carbohydrate that is not as easily digested as regular starch and acts as a prebiotic in your gut. As this starch ferments in your large intestine, it serves as a source of nutrition for the good bacteria in your gut. Your system breaks down most starch into glucose. However, resistant starch is not easily digested and prevents a spike in your blood glucose levels.

Resistant starch increases satiety levels, which means you feel full sooner as you eat and thus aids weight loss efforts. It’s also linked to a lower risk of colon cancer.

What's interesting to note is that when potatoes are cooked, they lose their resistant starch content. This is true for several varieties of potatoes. According to research, the temperature and duration for which potatoes are cooked impact the rate at which they lose their resistant starch. Baking is a better way to retain the resistant starch content.

Bacon can alleviate a lot of things. If I have a hangover then I usually air-fry or microwave a bunch of it and then I'll be better soon after.

There are quite a few foods that if you let them cool after cooking have that resistant starch thing going on. This site kept coming up.

not awfully sure what to make of that site to be honest. Statements such as

12. Vegan Pasta
Vegan pasta provides a notable source of resistant starch because it’s often made from legumes such as lentils or chickpeas, both of which are naturally high in amylose and fiber. When cooked and cooled it undergoes retrogradation, a process that bolsters the formation of RS. It also provides plant-based protein, fiber, and functions as a slow-digesting carbohydrate that regulates blood sugar while nourishing the microbiome.

Pasta is usually vegan, unless it is egg pasta or a coloured pasta with squid ink. I think they should say "gluten-free pasta," not "vegan pasta" - that is usually made from legumes.

They may not be as educated as you are.

Bacon is a separate food group.

It is. In the same way cheese is.
