Not the first time I've been asked this question, but I don't have a good answer. I generally don't like sweets and they taste sweet to me. I eat dessert only occasionally, and when I do I prefer dark chocolate or banana flavors because they aren't as sweet. I don't abhor sweet potatoes...if someone serves them to me, I'll politely take a small serving. But I won't enjoy it, and would rather get my calories from anything else on the table. As for yams, I'm not certain I've ever had one. If they aren't as sweet, I might like them.

Sweet potato fries, in my own unpopular opinion, are one of the worst food creations ever. Not only do they have that sugary taste (which fries shouldn't have), but they are soggy and floppy almost 100% of the time. The texture is off-putting. Again, if someone serves them to me, I'll politely eat them. I will never order them for myself or make them at home.

Looking through all the menus and pics, glad to see so many nice Thanksgiving dinners!
I think I mentioned a week or so ago that my mother in law was deciding what to make instead of turkey this year. Just to close the loop, we ended up with a delicious prime rib.
