You don't get spuds from a pea plant

Has anyone else noticed that the 'potato' plant in 'On the Farm' is actually a pea plant? Which is a bummer cos I wanted a spud plant. I'm not returning it, it's a nice product. It's just...someone hasn't grown potatoes like I have. It's kind of hilarious. I wish spuds did grow under peas, a multipurpose plant indeed. https://www.daz3d.com/on-the-farm

well peas pretty good as green manure too
a spud not that much unlike a tomato plant, all in the nightshade family and there are quite a few 3D tomato plants floating around

well I just learnt something
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomato
That. Is very cool. I did know that spuds can grow little tomato like fruit but they're poisonous, but to get two species off one plant?, choice as, bro! It's somewhat like the way different stonefruit can grow on one tree. More work for the grafter but way less work for the gardener.
And you are right, I can use the tomato plant with a bit of modifying.
Don't forget the humble Tomacco... A tobacco/tomato hybrid created by Homer Simpson when he used plutonium as fertilizer on his crops...
A fan inspired by that episode, managed to graft the two plants together, similar to the Pomato.

That is hilarious!
I've sent the pomato link to my son, he's seriously into grafting, has successfully grafted trees with multiple apples, is now trying to do pears, and I think he'd love to have a go with a pomato. Don't think he'll be a goer for tomacco but.
But the potato is a pea plant, just like pomegranates, parsnips, pawpaws and pears.
when I grew green manure I often went into the garden for a pea
decades ago I lived in CA and my gf's father grafted citrus onto backyard trees as a hobby. Getting lemon, limes, oranges and grapefruit on the same tree was possible but it took an awful lot of time. Not sure if it would be worth it for an annual except as a stunt.
You can use tomatoes if you don't look too close. They are related & look similar.
You can order such multi-grafts, citris, and so on nowdays pretty cheap. I buy all my trees seperate though.
We can actually buy PPomato plants all ready grafted and ready to go here in the UK
Grafted pomato plants were launched in the United Kingdom in September 2013 by a horticultural mail-order company Thompson & Morgan, who sold pre-grafted plants branded as the "TomTato".
Sold as TomTato plants :)

There are so many variations of the potato, why not a few tiny green ones, prepackaged in organic envelopes?
Green potatoes are poisonous.
All this talk of tomato-potato hybrids is giving me nightmare flashbacks to the Fallout games.
Not green but certainly colourful. NZ Maori potatoes, nom, nom.
need a spud gun
You have to eat a lot, but then eat enough normal potatoes and they are too
I was thinking more along the lines of the image below. "MicroTaters" prepackaged in organic curvilinear bundles.
salinine is not just toxic. It causes nausea and other GI issues. Depending on the person those symptoms can be unpleasant to severe long before the dose is actually fatal.
I'm going to guess that's a typo and you mean Solanine.
