Ok, what?

I'm watching Stephen Fry doing a tour of America

Do you guys really put marshmallow on your potatoes at Thanksgiving? *boggles*

I really need to get myself over to the US at Thanksgiving so I can try that, and pumpkin pie

On sweet potatoes yes. It makes them all sticky and sweet and good. Actually kind of desserty.

I've never put marshmallows on potatoes, but my Stepmom makes this marshmallow salad with mandarin orange slices. It's gross, but my Sis and my StepBro fight over it every year. And pumpkin pie? Also ewwwwww. Ya know you could come here for our Thanksgiving and then work your way South to the Americans...Double the dinners that way!

What an...odd idea. LOL! I can't even imagine what it tastes like

[hils.livejournal.com]

WOO! What an awesome idea! Sadly I don't think I could afford a month off work

[elandrialore.livejournal.com]

I can't even begin to fathom where the idea came from, but you should try it and see:)

[hils.livejournal.com]

I definitely will if I ever get the chance

I've always wanted to know what Yams were. Seriously, what the hell are they?

Sweet potatoes

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Well, it's more of a Southern US thing but yeah, people do add marshmallows. And sometimes people add a topping of chopped pecans, brown sugar and butter.

[blisstasteful.livejournal.com]

Really? Prepared in any particular way? because I've chipped and mashed sweet potatoes before. Are they like sweet potatoe croquets or something?

[hils.livejournal.com]

The US is a strange yet wonderful place

[hils.livejournal.com]

Nope, that's just what Americans call Sweet Potato

[blisstasteful.livejournal.com]

Doesn't seem like it would go well with gravy. They do have gravy with their roasts, yeah? I don't know why I'm asking you rather than an American.

One day babe. One day.

My nan used to make pumpkin pie, it's lovely. I want some now (some chance).

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Not everyone does. The idea of it makes me queasy! LOL

[hils.livejournal.com]

Heh! I was wondering that ;)

I cannot answer the gravy question but I'm guessing not. I can't imagine gravy going well with marshmallow

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yeah, when I'm retired in 30 years. LOL!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I've never had it

[blisstasteful.livejournal.com]

That's just wrong. I should go over there and educate them about the importance of gravy.

[hils.livejournal.com]

It certainly sounds unusual

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

It's fairly bland but sweet in a sweet potato way, I seem to remember.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! You're preaching to the wrong person. I'm not a massive gravy fan

[hils.livejournal.com]

I like to try new foods

[blisstasteful.livejournal.com]

I shall compose an essay. Gravy and you. With an whole section on bisto vrs meat juices. Maybe. Or possibly I have higher priorities.
