Why is there such a hate towards sweet potatoes?
i offered to make a sweet potato casserole for dessert, and people thought i was crazy. sweet potatoes are by far my favorite.
Answers:
If you are in an area where people do not eat a lot of sweet potatoes, the idea of potatoe anything for dessert is going to be strange to them.
There's also the fact that if sweet potatoes are uncommon for them, they may have never had them prepared properly and think they're supposed to be slimey.
My family is from the south and eat TONS of sweet potatoes. We can't get enough of them. But my husbands family is from Utah and only have them around Thanksgiving. They were under the impression that sweet potatoes, when cooked, are always slimey!!! So, I made them sweet potatoe casserole from my Grandma's recipe. They LOVED them. So it could just be these people have never had them prepared properly.
Or, it could just they're strange Yanks. And in that case, make it anyways and take the leftovers home!!! LOL
Because they suck! What's wrong with you?!?!
I love sweet potatoes.. not everyone hates them..
you go ahead and make it... if no one wants any...
Hey more for you right? lol...
Maybe they just wanted ice cream for dessert & had nothing against the potatoes at all.
I think those "people" are crazy. Sweet potatoes rock!!!
people have different tastes, maybe they just don't like sweet potatoes as much as you do :D
potatoes are good but not for dessert.
I agree. also make an amazing soup. Or try substituting sweet potato for pumpkin for the most amazing pumpkin/sweet potato pie.
i luv them any way i can get them i'm not black eighter so brang'em to me i'll show ya how fast they be gone here.''
Sweet potatoes are my favorite too... so you see you aren't alone.
Let's have your recipe for the dessert please.
they are basically our national vege here in nz, they have a low G.I. so are an excellent alternitive for potatoes although they have a higher sugar content. roasted with butter and cracked pepper.. heaven
I grow my own. Love them.
Actually I have never come across a desert that has sweet potato in it? Maybe alot of people cannot separate sweet from savoury. I haven't tried anything like it but I would always try at least 1 bite.
Sweet potatoes are the scourge of the produce aisle! They are notorious for their sexual promiscuity and drug use. They have violent tempers and frequently carry weapons. They are known to entice younger more naive side dishes into pornography. They also worship Satan. Your friends were right! There are no sweet potatoes in my fridge I tells ya.
Personally, I love them. I've never had them for dessert, but why not! Sounds good.
We love them here in the south. I love sweet potato cassarole and sweet potato pies. YUMMMM. I love to make sweet potato fries.
I love sweet potatoes as well. Next time you make a casserole call me and Ill sure help you eat it.
