what you call sweet potatoes we call them YAMS....and sweet potatoes are ENTIRELY different.....so what do you call our sweet potatoes? or do you NOT have them there? ↑ |
| Name: bmes | Date: Mar 4th, 2008 9:56 PM |
| yams are the ones with the orange flesh and sweet potatoes are the ones with the yellow flesh ↑ |
| Name: mother2five | Date: Mar 4th, 2008 9:57 PM |
well, I've bought yams in the can and i honestly thought they were the same thing as sweet pot. i didn't know they were diff.
also yes what you called a rotabegga (sp) is exactly what we call a turnip, and i have no idea what the carrot shaped thing is your were talking about ↑ |

Learn the difference between a sweet potato and a true yam
Yam or sweet potato, what in the world is it? Many people use these terms interchangeably both in conversation and in cooking, but they are really two different vegetables.
Sweet Potatoes
Popular in the American South, these yellow or orange tubers are elongated with ends that taper to a point and are of two dominant types. The paler-skinned sweet potato has a thin, light yellow skin with pale yellow flesh which is not sweet and has a dry, crumbly texture similar to a white baking potato. The darker-skinned variety (which is most often called "yam" in error) has a thicker, dark orange to reddish skin with a vivid orange, sweet flesh and a moist texture.
Current popular sweet potato varieties include Goldrush, Georgia Red, Centennial, Puerto Rico, New Jersey, and Velvet.
Yams
The true yam is the tuber of a tropical vine (Dioscorea batatas) and is not even distantly related to the sweet potato.
Slowly becoming more common in US markets, the yam is a popular vegetable in Latin American and Caribbean markets, with over 150 varieties available worldwide.
Generally sweeter than than the sweet potato, this tuber can grow over seven feet in length.
The word yam comes from African words njam, nyami, or djambi, meaning "to eat," and was first recorded in America in 1676.
The yam tuber has a brown or black skin which resembles the bark of a tree and off-white, purple or red flesh, depending on the variety. They are at home growing in tropical climates, primarily in South America, Africa, and the Caribbean.
Yams contain more natural sugar than sweet potatoes and have a higher moisture content. They are also marketed by their Spanish names, boniato and ņame. ↑ |

| the white looking carrots, called parsnips are actually white carrots :) i watch emeril alot. ↑ |
| Name: bmes | Date: Mar 5th, 2008 1:15 AM |
oh yes!!! parsnips look like white carrots....i meant that there are turnips, that are all white and they're kinda long and skinny looking, like a carrot...i guess not quite like a carrot, but more like a daikon.
but back onto the subject of cooking meals....i thought of another one...if your kids like mushrooms...you could do stuffed mushrooms....or a marinated mushroom salad!!! yum yum ↑ |
| Name: cherisalorraine | Date: Mar 5th, 2008 1:26 AM |
Ok I have one that is completely off the subject but do you have grasshoppers or locust ? I have always called them locust and and what people here call locust I call a cicada. I know we are on food so I guess you could dip them all in chocolate and then answer me!
My kids love Tofu no matter how it is served! ↑ |
| Name: winnmom | Date: Mar 5th, 2008 1:43 AM |

An easy way to make money and get rich quick -----------------------------
-----------------------------
-
--------------------- This is not a scam i have done it myself Can you really make money so easily? I am and this helps whilst developing my own online business! I thought it was impossible. Just read this. I don't even have to convince you that this is not a scam because it makes logical sense how you can earn money through paypal. A little while back, I was browsing through a newsgroup, just like you are now and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading : OPRAH WINFREY and an article published in the Wall Street Journal, here is some of it!! Everyone has heard about "PayPal" (if you haven't you will soon) and, when I came Across this concept I knew it would work because, as a member of PayPal, I had already experienced their efficiency and excellent standing. PayPal is the simplest method of making and receiving payments online anyone has ever seen! Anyone with an Email address can join, for FREE! Please read further before you go there... You can complete this whole process in less than one hour and you will never forget the day you decided to do so!!! Oh!, Did I say FAST? By fast I mean 'the speed of the Internet-type fast.' Everything is done on the Internet by E-mail. And, if you abide by the rules, it is NOT considered SPAM, so it's perfectly legal! Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 through paypal to each of the emails stated in the article. You then place your own email address in the bottom of the list at No.6, and post the article in at least 200 Newsgroup. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured what have I got to lose except $6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it : It follows the same regulations as the mailed chain letters, which according to the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!?. Within 7 days, I started getting money in my PayPal account! I was shocked and excited! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the End second week I had made a total over $1,100.00! In the third week I had over $9,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $22,000.00 and it's still Coming in rapidly. Its : Certainly worth $6.00., I have spent more than that on the lottery!! : Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works? Also, make sure you print a copy of this Article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
