Sweet potatoes are something I have never been able to develop a taste for. I think it goes back to when I was young. My mother made me stay at the table one night until late, because I wouldn't eat these nasty sweet potatoes she had made. I eventually won the argument, even though I did try to eat them. Ever since then I haven't been able to eat sweet potatoes.

Sister Alvear our family almost literally lived on sweet potatoes once. I cannot eat them now. There are a lot of sweet potatoes grown near us. One little town has a sweet potato festival every year.

I like to cut them into fries, mix them with regular potaotes and french fry the whole batch. yummy

I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread. Now I am thinking about those sweet potatoes my mom made, and I feel like I am going to hurl! :vomit

Besides simple starches, sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, beta carotene (a vitamin A equivalent nutrient), vitamin C, and vitamin B6.

In 1992, the Center for Science in the Public Interest compared the nutritional value of sweet potatoes to other vegetables. Considering fiber content, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium, the sweet potato ranked highest in nutritional value. According to these criteria, sweet potatoes earned 184 points, 100 points over the next on the list, the common potato. (Wikipedia)

My Memaw Carrie used to fry them for me in butter and caramelized sugar. YUM! Here in the US I can now buy Sweet Potato French Fries!! Bake them in the oven and sprinkle with Splenda and Cinnamon. MMMMMMM! NOTHING better! Well, EXCEPT twice a year when my cousin makes sweet potato casserole topped with brown sugar, pecans and coconut at Thanksgiving and Christmas!

If you haven't figured it out yet. I LOVE 'EM!

I don't care for sweet potatoes but I love squash and egg-plant and tomatoes.
