How do I make sweet potatoes??? My girlfriend will go crackers if I manage to make anything other than mashed potatoes this year
Sweet Potatos are orange tubers, sometimes called Yams.
1. You bake them, I think it takes an hour or so.
2. throw away the peels, mash them, mix them with maple syrup, sugar or honey, and pecans, and put them in a glass baking pan about 60% full, and cover the top with solid marshmellows.
3. Bake until the marshmellows are brown and kind of liquid.

Don't forget to toss in a little crappie. Makes them taste Christmasy.
Don't let these weirdos and their mangled creations anywhere near your kitchen Justin. Sweet potatoes or yams are just fine on their own, no need to add pecans and marshmellows.
Crappy for Christmas? At least go salmon man. Or Catfish.
I had Catfish in mind more as the typical down home Deep South fish since you seem to have a fondness for the ole Southern culture midwinter. What better way to celebrate the savior's birthday then a night of fried catfish, moonshine and reminiscing about Huey Long? OK, maybe not. As for the taste of the two, I've had both and don't really like either. But then again I haven't had either in years, probably since I was about 12 years old so maybe crapper (or catfish) is OK and it is just my memory or my taste or my non-fish friendly palate at the time. I'll take your word that crappie is better than catfish. As long as I get my Turkey then it's all good.

That sounds really delicious. One of my favourite American (South) writers, Walker Percy described how Louisiana residents suck the juices out of tiger prawns until the juices split. Just absolutely wonderful - admittedly I've not been able to convince any of my fellow Englishmen to eat tiger prawns in a 5* London restaurant. Instead all they do is sniff at shellfish.
Thanks for the heads up on sweet yams. I've had yam before and I couldn't go through with it. It was mushy and horribly pithy. I can't believe it's the same thing as sweet potatoes so I'm going to have to try some over the Christmas.
Yuck! Who ever thought to put pecans and marshmellows in sweet potatoes? Turkey is overrated. The past few years I've been fixing Cornish hens and an obscenely large pork loin roast (excellent for leftover sanwhiches). All the basics stay, baked mac and cheese, green beans, collard greens, Coconut rice (my caribbean background), stuffing, cranberry sauce, potato salad, mixed green salad and deviled eggs. Oh yeah pies, cakes and spiked eggnog.

Or more simply, they're mashed yams.

Sweet potatos are not the same speices as yams, though they
are similar.
Keep your krappy crapie out of my sweet potato...

I knew it. Nothing I did with potatoes (potatoe if quails are about) ever tasted remotely like sweet potatoes.
Now I know why...
Crappy for Christmas?

Anyone who would suggest catfish over crappie has never had crappie.

What do Americans eat during Christmas then? (Other than turkey)
Ham is the general tradition.

Yeah, and the tendency to photograph the thing as a kind of pent-up bursting outward doesn't help.
