In his 1930s comic strip, Popeye was unhappy when an expert told him a yam is a sweet potato, because he'd have to start saying "I sweet potato what I sweet potato and that's all that I sweet potato."
I asked my daughter to bring sweet potatoes so i could show her how my mother fixed them. She brought yams, and couldn't understand why I was upset. I even bought a bag labelled sweet potatoes at Trader Joe's, and when I opened the bag at home, I discovered yams. It really is a big difference.
I don't care what the clip says, what are called yams and what are called sweet potatoes in the markets I go to are quite different in appearance, taste, and texture.
I FREAKING HATE informative videos with music louder than the people are talking.
I have NO idea what her last comment was. The last word was drowned out by the music.
And, NO, I don't have bad hearing. My hearing is, actually, off the TOP of the chart. I hear too MUCH. The doctors at Loyola Hospital near Chicago were amazed.

ReplyDelete:-) I think that is what the clip says - that sweet potatoes ain't yams.

One workaround (if you want one) would be to click the "cc" and the "mute" icons. Although in this case they didn't cc the epilogue.
