Yup its a yam… Its amazing how many americans call yams sweet potatoes, so what do u guys call the actual sweet potatoes? (the ones with the purpleish skin and whiter insides)

This is a great recipe. I used basil from a spice jar instead of sage, ‘cuz hey, nothing else around, and it was incredible.

To the crazies down below talking about yams, American grocers often call sweet potatoes “yams.” A yam, in the correct sense, is a big-ass poisonous tuber that keeps for long periods of time… staple food in Africa… you have to cook it to remove the poison. Those “garnet yams” in your local supermarket are sweet potatoes.

Sadly, the point of the video was missed entirely. This is an amazing recipe and will make sweet potato (or yam) lovers out of haters. The taste is unlike anything typically served for holiday meals.

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes and my sweet potato/yam-hating family loves it. I can never make enough.

For the record, yams do not have orange flesh nor are they as sweet as sweet potatoes. Orange sweet potatoes received the ‘yam’ appellation as a combination of slave culture(who might have been familiar with african yams) and marketing(look at these new orange yams!)

I would bet that Mark has known some “nasty little ends” and “tough buggers” in his life.

Though I enjoyed your post, I think you spent more time on it than Mark did his sweet potato stir fry.

I have, but what exactly does that have to do with anything?

Gotta love one liners. Just vague enough to sound stupid, and stupid enough to make you annoyed, all without actually saying anything.

You could’ve said, ”you’ve never french kissed a banjo playing squirrel, have you?”. Because they both contain the amount of intelligable information, while conveying the same amount of ‘point’.

So my full answer to you is, ”you aren’t the sharpest nail in the bunch, are you?”.

Dum dee dum.
