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). It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

This might be a hard one to really pin point being so wide it's use and that is chickens but your right about sweet potatoes, these days they are grown in almost every country. Big time in Africa |

Ok, who invented the hamburger and why is not ham in it? 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 |

It sure stood up to expectation, Burgers sold on every corner these days. I think Hot Dogs are up for grabs too the same way. |

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...) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

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