As you probably know, weird conversations come up over dinner at my place. xD This time 'round, my grandfather's cooked yam soup as one of the dishes of tonight's dinner.
My sister: Why are you eating that?
Me: *in the middle of eating yam* It's nice.
Sis: You like?
Me: Yeah, I like yam. =D I like yam paus, and yam cake too.
Sis: *incredulous* Hah? Do you eat yam ice cream too?
Me: =3 Hmn? Nice what.
Sis: ... ...
Hah.
By the way, contrary to popular belief yam is not an obscure tuber, but in fact is nice to eat. I personally have no idea why, but it tastes nicer than a potato. ... ... ... The potato itself has not much of a distinct taste, but that's not the point. ._.
"Yams are high in vitamin C, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium, and manganese; while being low in saturated fat and sodium. Vitamin C, dietary fiber and vitamin B6 may all promote good health. Furthermore, a product that is high in potassium and low in sodium is likely to produce a good potassium-sodium balance in the human body, and so protect against osteoporosis and heart disease.
Yam products generally have a lower glycemic index than potato products, which means that they will provide a more sustained form of energy, and give better protection against obesity and diabetes."
