Has anyone in Wetfish actually eaten a yam? No, you fucking Americans I don't mean a sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas). And no, Kiwis, I don't mean Oxalis tuberosa either. I mean a REAL YAM (Dioscorea)

QuoteThis article is about the large tuberous starchy root eaten as a staple food. For the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), also known as a yam in North America, see sweet potato. For oca, the vegetable called yam in New Zealand, see Oxalis tuberosa.
This is where real yams are grown.

Real yams are fucking massive, like 2-3 feet long and 4 inches in diameter.

Everything you've been told by supermarkets is a lie. Sweet potatoes ARE NOT YAMS.
If anyone in wetfish has ever eaten a real yam, please let us know what they are like.
I asked a local grocery store if they have any yams. .... god, shopping search engines suck ass.

YAMS YAMS YAMS YAMS i have eaten yam
please... tell us... what is it like? what is the texture? what does it taste like?
how does it compare to sweet potatoes? regular potatoes?
i ate yams at a friends house when i was a youth, they kept saying it was "yams" and i was confused because it didn't taste like anything anyone else calls a yam. texture was weird too. it wasn't great but it was food, i just thought was extremely shit tier mash potato.
