[lbo-talk] ...a yam thing?

[Carrol Cox]

One problem with this would be the indefiniteness of "two yams" (sweet
potatoes), since sweet potatoes vary so much in size. They are a
wonderful taste. And incidentally, they would be easier to peel after
they've been boiled.

For much much more on sweet potatoes in general, see
