@very-rusty saidThey do everything from scratch.
In other words you don't have a clue how to make them from scratch....Thanks! 😛 😉

@contenchess saidYes of course, but you don't have a clue on how to do it yourself! Would you starve without women around?
They do everything from scratch.
Yet you don't like the canned version of the way it is done.

In this house I am the cook.
During holidays the women cook. It's tradition.
@contenchess saidActually yams and sweet potatoes aren't the same. In the USA slaves that had sweet potatoes called them yams because they were similar to African yams. Or so I've read.
Candied yams are so good.
I always eat that first...and last. 😋
We call them sweet potatoes up here.
Definitely made from scratch.
No can crap for me.
There are tons of recipes online. But we cut corners and get canned.

@Gambrel
I looked it up. You are right.
The orange ones are sweet potatoes and many people call them yams...
I love sweet potatoes.
I don't think I've had a real yam 😕
I didn't recognize them when I looked it up.
@contenchess saidOur canned product says clearly on the label Bruce's Candied Yams. The ingredients start with sweet potatoes lol.
So I guess I've been eating candied sweet potatoes 😉
I think it's an American thing
@ponderable saidThank you, Pondy. I know it took me a while to respond, but I did appreciate your saying so, and I suppose that might have come as a relief to some degree.
Neither am I.
Just saying.
Maybe now it's the right time to confess that I was never Boris Pasternak.
