The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2007 Yams are NOT sweet potatoes. Yams are white on the inside, sweet potatoes are an orange color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k thx 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2007 Yeah, I thought it was a grey area in the states with you guys calling sweet potatoes "yams". If not, disregard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was gonna say thats a big can, like 46 oz can..but they do come in that size so I guess its possible. Plenty of Beta Carrotene in yams..more than in a carrot I think..

The closest can size is a #3 that holds 33 oz and a #3 Cylinder Can that holds 46 oz. Yay for Storeroom Operations Class! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 28, 2007 So then, he probably got the 33oz can. Why is this even being discussed? I am not going to degrade myself into talking about the size of cans for yams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2007 Yams are really gross. I can stomach them cooked like mashers, but top them with marshmallows? Blarch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Legalise Drugs and Murder Report post Posted January 31, 2007 I wish the English would just use the English system. Fuck metric. No way, man. Metric is beautiful. It took years of chemistry, but I can think in terms of metric as opposed to going "How many pounds is that?" every time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
