mad foreigner vegetables (1 Viewer)

[hugh]

So has anyone here ever eaten a Durian fruit? The ultimate mad foreigner fruit. They smell unbelievably vile but, apparently, taste like heaven. I had the opportunity once but chickened out ....

they're sweet potatoes, been around these parts for years. you can also get them in supermarkets, beside the potatoes. they make real nice chips. nice with a roasted butternut squash.

are they not yams?
are yams the same as sweet potatoes?

hmmn..

Yknow what, Kweeran? You're spot on, son. Yams are different to sweet potatoes.

In the United States, sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) are often referred to as "yams". Sweet potatoes incorrectly labeled as "yams" are widely available in U.S. grocery stores. True yams are only found in specialty markets such as those that serve Asian or Caribbean communities.

But your photo was a little ambiguous. Fucks sake.

yeah, if you're a yank. you've been able to get the in ireland since i was a baby. i'm really only talking about the weird and wonderful vegetables which have been introduced to our shores in recent times which no one knows what to do with. but if there's general confusion about what what they are, i guess they have a home here too.

stupid idiots.

I've never known a yam to get a man so worked up.

Work the vegetables, Hag. Don't let the vegetables work you.

Ugli rock! Can still get them here in the uk no problems in season.

Even better though is this.

Ancestor of the grapefruit allegedly, so much sweeter though. Takes abouthalf an hour to eat with all the skin removing etc but well worth it. gotta take it right down to inside the sements though as the skins are pretty bitter.

okay, here's one:

suppose it's relatively easy. no, it's not a tomato, but you're close... hint: unlike the tomato the outside skin is extremely bitter.
