My intent was not to belittle your knowledge of tubers or root veggies, I just happen to be partial to the ones I posted.

When I was a kid I lived in Puerto Rico and we were dirt poor. Several times a month we would go to my great grandmothers house and dig up those particular roots, boil them up, and eat them with salt and butter.

Good times.

Other than the sweet potato and yam, I wasn't familiar with them. It'd be interesting to try them. I'd also like to try cassava some day since it's all over the place in Africa. I've never seen it here, though.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta), also called yuca or manioc.

It's the first image I posted.

They sell it at my local Dillons. I would be seriously surprised if it is not available locally in Denver as well. Try asian markets if you have any nearby... I can almost guarantee they will stock it if your local grocer does not.

Cassava is the same as manioc? I didn't know that. I think of manioc as a native american thing and cassava as an African thing. (Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my thinking.) Would it exist wild in both places, or did it only cross with the explorers and settlers?

I'd never heard the yuca term before. Is that a puerto rican name?

Good thread, just got done eating mashed potatoes that the wife made. She uses red potatoes, leaves the peels in, and adds onions, tomatoes and jalapenos

I'm exactly the same, execpt I'm not a fan of radish at all. When I was a little kid I loved beets, but now I'm neutral towards them.

I eat radishes for a snack. I like the hint of spice they have.

Your palate may not have been sophisticated enough to appreciate them as a child. You should try them again and not vomit afterwards, and see what you think.

Just thinly slice a sweet potato....1/8 inch or less. Drop 5 or 6 into a Fry Daddy and fry them until they are as done as you like. You can salt them when they are hot or not.

Same thing as homemade potato chips.

For every five potatoes, peel and dice a turnip cooked into a stew. If you ever add to much Worcestershire or vinegar to a sauce, soup, BBQ beans, sauerkraut, or stew, a turnip will neutralize that over-addition.
