What a relief! Tropical Storm Ernesto is no longer a serious threat to Jamaica and I have reason to cheer about my country's performance at the London Olympics. Our top sprinter, Usain Bolt, is from the parish of Trelawny where a
variety of yams abound! Well, I like yellow yam a lot and enjoy it
whether in soup or cooked on its own. Every week I eat some. First I peel off
the skin and slice it up. After that I
put a teaspoon of salt in about a quart of water. When it boils up I put in the
yam and allow it to cook for about 1 hour. Below is a picture of boiled yellow yam.

Is the Yellow Yam similar to sweet yams or sweet potatoes? If so, we call them camote here in the Philippines ... and I love camotes! It's supposedly ranked as one of nature's miraculous foods.
Cheers ... visiting from Creative Monday!
Hi Tito Eric,
There are a wide variety of yams but sweet potatoes are different. I also know and like sweet potatoes. Take care and have a good week.

Hello Judy. I love yams and sweet potatoes. The best of them all is the purple yam we call 'ube'. It's best mashed and served as filling for breads.
Hi Itin,
I am happy to hear from you. I note that you also love yams and sweet potatoes. The purple yam sounds interesting. I hope I get to have it some day. Take care and have a wonderful week.
Judy
I prefer white yam instead. I can only eat yellow yam when there is no option for white yam.
Wishing you a wonderful new week Judy..
happy to join in your delicious party today. xo P.S. Go BOLT!
