Yes, but sweet potatoes are far more commonly eaten and available in my area. I think some people confuse the two, sometimes. I tend to buy sweet potatoes, not actual yams, but not even that often. I love sweet potato fries, mashed sweet potatoes, sweet potato chips, and the occasional baked sweet potato. I'm not as fond of having them candied. I prefer pumpkin pie over sweet potato pie. My husband is not overly fond of yams or sweet potatoes, except in rare cases (fries, and a mash dish I make with brown butter scallops). They don't really eat them in Czech Republic. Only regular spuds.

Q: Is there something you miss doing because it is no longer nearby to do?
