I’ve tried both yams and sweet potatoes…I like neither. I’ve even tried roasting them as you’ve suggested and I still couldn’t handle them. They are both in the same class as tofu and broccoli for me. Sorry!

You know what try buying sweet potatoes rather than yams you will probably like them better. They are smaller and have a redder skin and are not as sweet tasting. Try roasting them in the oven. Make them chunk size with a little olive oil and lots of onion and garlic, and some thyme and rosemary and black pepper. At the end of the cooking throw in a red pepper just to heat but remain crisp.
Of course we like yams in our household especially Bethany who used to want yams and hotdogs for her birthday party food when she was grade 2. All the kids thought it was odd but the massive candy cake balanced it out!

Hey…what makes them even worse is when you are not primal eating and it is served with lots of brown sugar with marshmellows melted on top. Just pass the stuffing and mashed potatoes please and leave the yams in the garden where they belong.

Good! We should start a ‘We Hate Yams” group. After that we will tackle static. Deal?!
