Not me. Today's dining will pretty much consist of cold sweet potato pie from the fridge.

Yes, I do believe that's what Yankees call sweet potatoes.

You can call a sweet potato a yam all you want, but the pie is sweet potato pie. "Yam pie" is beyond the pale.

Yes, I do believe that's what Yankees call sweet potatoes. I grew up in New England, we always called them sweet potatoes. Yams is what we thought southerners called them!  -M |

I just learned from Wikipedia that they're not the same thing at all. Odds are, I've never had a yam.

Yams are that sticky concoction that are made with marshmallows and stuff, RIGHT? Or are Yams an actual thing on their own? Am I just clueless? I don't know. All I know is I have bought, prepped and eaten sweet potatoes. I haven't had much to do with yams. |

Yams are a separate species.
The sticky concoction made with marshmallows & stuff is sweet potato casserole.

From Wikipedia --
Yam is the common name for some plant species in the genus Dioscorea (family Dioscoreaceae) that form edible tubers. These are perennial herbaceous vines cultivated for the consumption of their starchy tubers in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Oceania. There are many cultivars of yam. Although some varieties of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) are also called yam in parts of the United States and Canada, it is not part of the family Dioscoreaceae but belongs in the unrelated morning glory family Convolvulaceae.

People call sweet potatoes yams. There is another, completely different thing also known as yams.

Well, sweet potato casserole what it's called in the culinarily civilized part of the U.S.
What y'all might call it up north, I haven't the slightest idea.
