Yams

 

You either like yams a lot or you tolerate them or you refuse to eat them. I happen to love yams. Here is a short explanation about what they are from Wikipedia: Yam (Vegetable)

Yam is the common name for some plant species in the genus Dioscorea (family Dioscoreaceae) that form edible tubers. Yams are perennial herbaceous vines cultivated for the consumption of their starchy tubers in many temperate and tropical regions, especially in Africa, South America and the Caribbean, Asia, and Oceania. The tubers themselves, also called "yams", come in a variety of forms owing to numerous cultivars and related species.
We have them regularly when they are available and also for special occasions like Christmas and Thanksgiving (US).
