Denise,

My country folk always called sweet potatoes sprinkled with brown

sugar " candied yams " . Later I realized they were actually sweet

potatoes . I was told recently that we seldom see real yams in the

markets but what is offered are US grown sweet potatoes. This is

still confusing to me. Guess I will research on line and see what I

can find.

In this order:

Onions, potatoes, garlic, parsnips and carrots.

I'm sure fennel is a root, I like it too.

Denise,

 

First of all, let me say that I almost went into shock when I saw your

question. These things are good!

 

I don't have a clue how yams are made. Usually we buy the frozen ones that

we don't have to add anything to. Whatever they do to them though gives the

sweet potatoes a lot of flavor. If my grandmother was still alive, I am sure

she could give me the recipe! However, when we have attempted to make

them, we used brown sugar and maple syrup. They tasted alright, but they got

kind of chewy if you let them sit too long before eating them. So we didn't

do something right.

I like potatoes - baked, boiled, fried, mashed, roasted, in curries.

 

Onions, in curries, grilled, roasted, raw - find red onions a bit too sharp

though.

 

Carrots, boiled, raw

 

Parsnips, roasted, boiled

 

peanuts - from shells, peanut butter, though I don't know how to make fresh

peanut butter. Any recipes?

To you all,

 

there is a great difference between a yam and a sweet potato. We do not see

yams in the US nor do we eat them. we only see sweet potatoes of various

kinds...deep orange inside, light yellow inside, medium orange inside.

 

 

[Guest guest]

I like to combine all the root veggies and roast them in the oven.

Makes a great meal!

[Guest guest]

I'd have to vote for potatoes or sweet potatoes. Rutebega's and turnips

are good, too. In fact, might be shorted to list non-favorite root

veggies. :-)
