WHY do people (often veggies and vegans) PRETEND that SWEET POTATOeS are nice??
 
"ooh i love sweet potato fries, so much better than chips"

"i love sweet potato baked" :umm2:

They are mingling, far to sweet.

Cherie 12-06-2021 07:17 PM

Amen

ive tried them a couple of times because they are supposed to be a healthy alternative, but they are just unpleasant and what are they an alternative to, its certainly not a normal potato

I love them, mashed with olive oil spread and ginger :thumbs:

I love sweet potato fries (am neither veggoe nor began).....I only get them in the summer of though. Not keen on sweet potato as a jacket but I do sometimes mix sweet potatoes and normal ones to top a cottage pie

They are all amish.

caprimint 13-06-2021 12:22 AM

I prefer them to original potatoes :pipe:

(They're all good tho)

Shaun 13-06-2021 02:45 AM

They're alright but they do feel like a bit of a weird novelty rather than something I'd have regularly.

Ammi 13-06-2021 05:27 AM

…They’re perfect with certain things, I think…I always find rice with a hot/spicy chilli really bland so prefer sweet potato fries with it…the sweetness balances and compliments the hot spiciness excellently…and sprinkled with chilli flakes for a little added kick as well…gorgeous…:lovedup:…

…like Annie does, I also often do a half and half with regular potato for a mash and that works really well and is delicious…:love:…they yam what they yam and they’re not regular potatoes, they have their own sweet character…. so respect and appreciate their individuality and a relationship with them won’t have to be a pretence…there’ll be real feeling and love and a long future together….:flutter:…

Sweet potato fries are beautiful!

hijaxers 13-06-2021 06:04 AM

Amen

I don't hate but not keen on them at all.

GoldHeart 13-06-2021 06:09 AM

I'm not vegan nor vegetarian ,but I like sweet potato fries and I eat them more than regular fries / chips.

The sweet potato haters should be left tongue less
I really like them.

And niamh only hates potatoes because She was given one with every meal

It’s an Irish thing.:joker:

Jake. 13-06-2021 10:29 AM

They’re nice on the odd occasion. I couldn’t have them on a weekly basis but yeah

…poor sweet potatoes becoming the Meghan of the potato family…:sad:…

…actually I just remembered that I dice and roast them as part of my vegetable lasagne filling as well…I probably use them in other stuff, I just can’t recall…they’re nice added to vegetable curries….

Now that’s sounds good to me.

They're nice as chips but I have to have loads of salt
