Title: Yam and SPota
Post by: tp4tissue on Wed, 27 December 2023, 09:34:02: They really are the most time efficient food.

You just toss it in, w/ the oven timer, and eat it all day whenever. A complete meal, everything you need.

Yea, they're a bit overpriced in the west. In Asia it's way cheaper.

The magic is that you can eat nothing buy yam/spota and be 100% nutritionally complete.

Whereas if you ate pasta alone, you would die.

Evolutionarily speaking, it was likely the discovery and cooking of "Tubers" and other "Root Veggies" which lead to the rapid development of the human brain, glucose being its primary fuel.

So "SPota" means sweet potato? That is just too obtuse for me.

I really like them with Japanese curry sauce.
