The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the family Convolvulaceae. Its large, starchy, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots are an important root vegetable.[1][2] The young leaves and shoots are sometimes eaten as greens. Of the approximately 50 genera and more than 1,000 species of Convolvulaceae, I. batatas is the only crop plant of major importance—some others are used locally, but many are actually poisonous. The sweet potato is only distantly related to the potato (Solanum tuberosum).

The center of origin and domestication of sweet potato is thought to be either in Central America or South America.[6] In Central America, sweet potatoes were domesticated at least 5,000 years ago.[7]

In South America, Peruvian sweet potato remnants dating as far back as 8000 BC have been found.[8]

Ok I heard many stories on this one, one was the Germans, another was in N.Y.C. and a few others so I really don't know what to believe. I think the ham was for the fat though and something I'm not supposed to be eating. One Burger 20 pound gain. LOL

I know one thing, French fries don't originate from France but from Belgium. So they should've been called Belgian fries!

and nowhere near as good as a decent bag of chip shop chips after closing time (warped in a three day old copy of a tabloid newspaper...)

(broadsheet papers are too big, unless you are getting a family sized bag of chips...)

To be honest, French fries or whatever you call them are just skinny chips!


Of course over there in the UK You'd call fries, chips, problem is We have something called 'potato chips', some have ridges, some are in a can, but most are in the bag... Some are baked and some are deep fried similar to chips in the UK briefly in a vat of hot vegetable oil of some sort. I don't buy these chips as they stick to My teeth, sometimes I might buy corn chips though, but not in more than 6 months have I done that.

I don't even comes close to the truth. though bread is bread and so on, take a look at around the world, this was nothing new on a single piece of bead. Tacos and so on from all other counties? maybe he ordered peanut butter and jelly on toast.
