Want twins?

[fuffyburra]

I'm getting down to Asda! Having me some twins!
My mum had 1 set of twin girls, one boy, then me and my twin sister. So hopefully the yams (excuse the pun) twinned with the genetic possibilities will grant me my wish

I love sweet potatoes and theyre supposedly better for you than your normal white potato.

Lozzy's done her research! Never had a yam, they'd better taste good if I'm gonna be scoffing them down in just over a year!

Here's some more information on yams.

Yams

The true yam is the tuber of a tropical vine (Dioscorea batatas) and is not even distantly related to the sweet potato.

Slowly becoming more common in US markets, the yam is a popular vegetable in Latin American and Caribbean markets, with over 150 varieties available worldwide.

Generally sweeter than than the sweet potato, this tuber can grow over seven feet in length.

The word yam comes from African words njam, nyami, or djambi, meaning "to eat," and was first recorded in America in 1676.

The yam tuber has a brown or black skin which resembles the bark of a tree and off-white, purple or red flesh, depending on the variety. They are at home growing in tropical climates, primarily in South America, Africa, and the Caribbean

I almost died reading that lol!

And I was worried they'd taste horrible, so good to know what they taste like MrsGasp! xx

I think that the yam is the orangey colored one and the sweet potato is the one that is not so dark orange. I eat sweet potatoes quite a bit, but yams are a little sweet for me. My hubby actually wants twins, a boy and a girl and call it good. So do I. Maybe I need to find a creative ways to eat yams........

Theres twins in my mothers family too - lots of them, and further back in my fathers family too, I wouldnt mind them tbh but not sure I will influence the decision - I wouldn't know where to start with eating/cooking them!!! Never had a yam ...
