Thumbs down 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"

they are like a dreadful potato and its about time they were exposed with their apologists




can i get an 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

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

…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…

…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……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….

The sweet potato haters should be left tongue less

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

It’s an Irish thing.
