      Swede here. Never have I been to a household that does not have a potato peeler. You use it for everything. Potatoes, carrots, apples, pears, sweet potatoes… Sometimes cucumber if you’re making something weird/garnishy. People use knives to peel potatoes‽

        I’m fact, just boil the potatoes with the peel, then pinch it off after boiling. Even faster than all other methods. Also keeps nutrients.

        Sometimes a household is a more fluid concept than you’d like and not everything in a kitchen moves from one instance of a household to the next. But there’s always a knife around and sometimes you just want a potato so you peel with what you got. But then when your household gets more stable you remember what a great time-saver a potato peeler is.

          I know you’re just trying to sound like a smartarse wank but who in the utter fuck doesn’t have a potato peeler?

          Where do you live, Kyrgyzstan? 😂

            People that have moved around a lot and never had a chance to assemble a lot of cooking utensils until recently. But I’m glad your life has been so charmed you can’t imagine someone not taking a potato peeler for granted.

      I actually find that it takes many more stabs to subdue my victims, but maybe I just haven’t found a good enough quality potato peeler.
