Just another example of the western hegemony appropriating African culture and staples.

- Baked with butter and brown sugar
- Whipped/mashed with nuts and gooey sweetness marshmallow topping
- Cut and baked as fries. Toss them in just a tiny bit of olive oil, season with a little salt and pepper and paprika, bake the hell out of em til they get crispy. Crazy good.

I like them cut into small cubes coated with a little olive oil then add salt, pepper, cinnamon and ground cloves. Put them on a baking sheet and drizzle with honey. Roast at 400 degrees for about 25-30 minutes and they are darn good. They go great with pork or lamb.

Yeah, i don't understand the yams hate.

In Japan, there is a town. Wanna say Osaka. Where they have the highest rate of old age in the world. Their main staple of diet. The sweet potato.

Hate on them all you want. But they have their place.

Fun Yam Fact #36

36. Nigeria's version of Cookie Monster eats yams. His catchphrase: "ME WANT YAM!"

Thread reminds me of one of the funniest lines from a TV drama. From The Shield. Officer Vendrell (AKA Boyd Crowder) has just had sex with an under age prostitute in the interrogation room.
  • Shane Vendrell: I'm saying that with their testimony, two years is the best I can get for you.
  • Tulips: I'm sorry. How much time are you getting for sexual misconduct?
  • Shane Vendrell: Pardon me?
  • Tulips: I got a yammy full of Georgia joy juice, darling, enough DNA to have you writing parking tickets in Pacoima. So, am I walking out of here or do we need to call your supervisor?
