Read the following in a British accent:
SWEET POTATOES, YAMS, AND TRUE YAMS
When we say "sweet potatoes," we mean the ones with yellow-gray to brown skin and yellowish to white, dry, mealy flesh. When we say "yams," we mean the ones with copper to purple skinds and very sweet, moist, orange flesh. The simple difference between sweets and yams is variety. True yams, however, are not related to any of these sweet potatoes. They are tropical tubers with crisp, bland, white to yellow flesh. Available in Hispanic groceries, the tuber can be boiled, baked, fried, or prepared in any potato way except pureed, which emphasizes its mucilaginous qualities.

SWEET POTATO AND PEANUT STEW
(Omit the ground beef or turkey for a vegetarian version.)
It doesn't have peanuts in it, it has 1/2 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth), preferably unsalted.
Mmm... Founders could do great things with this recipe...
