I generally do try to order chicken or salmon. I can't have shrimp as I'm allergic to it. Salads with no dressing is very bleh to me (I'll generally get a vinaigrette). I'd imagine plain potatoes would also be somewhat of the same way. It's a very dry food that needs something to whet it up for mass consumption.

Potatoes are very high in nutrition and even contain complete protein. I'll have to look for it again but I read a study a while back where two people lived on nothing but potatoes for 6 months. They were perfectly healthy and stayed in nitrogen balance the whole time (which meant they were getting enough protein to not lose muscle).
I actually like plain potatoes with salt and vinegar on them. I'll also cut them into wedges, bake them until browned and eat them with a little low sugar ketchup. That wouldn't be possible in a restaurant, though.
