I dunno... that was a thought I had as well. I've never seen a purple one though and why would someone give me just one yam? What am I supposed to do with just one yam, if that's what it is?
I thought it was something that I am supposed to eat on its own. :? Especially since she also gave me an orange. Yes, the giver is an older lady and very sweet.
I agree. Purple yam. Some people eat yams like others eat baked potatoes. My mom can't have regular potatoes, so she makes herself a baked yam when we have baked potatoes. Posted via Mobile Device
Bake ONE yam? OK, no way is that going to happen. Even if I liked yams, I would never go to the trouble of baking ONE of anything - even pies. OK, a big roast or turkey, yes, but not ONE vegetable.
My mom wraps hers in tin foil and bakes it for all of 20 minutes. She makes hers while she's making baked potatoes for the rest of us and cooking the rest of the dinner.
Or, you can pop it in the microwave, hit the "baked potato" button and let it do its thing. Posted via Mobile Device
Its a Purple Majesty Potato! I tried to grow them this year but failed miserably, LOL! I plan on trying again as they are supposed to be better for you than a regular potato more antioxidants but they taste like a regular potato.
I don't think its a potato. I do think its a yam and that it was cooked. Purple potatoes are not as deep purple as this. The center has that crumbly appearance of cooked yams. Yuk. Ew. Gross. :lol:
Sorry, guys - I really have no intention of tasting it. I might see if I can find someone else who will. Today, I completely forgot to ask the person that gave it to me.
What will I tell her? I will tell her "Thank you. It was very nice of you to think of me." I'm pretty good at avoiding direct questions when necessary.
Funny, my tastes haven't changed much at all since I was a child. Trying to think of anything I disliked then and like now... can't think of anything. Nor the other way around. It's true though - for most people their tastes change with age.
I've always liked and eaten anything and I'm still like that =P There hasn't been a food that I've tried and not liked and I've tried some weird stuff!
It used to be a one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater.
