Apparently when my 20-month-old kid eats them, they're a veg. When the grownups eat them, they're a starch. Thus was I cautioned against making stuffing AND sweet potatoes for an ordinary Sunday night dinner, since this would have amounted to starch with your starch. Starch with your starch, it would seem, is fine for Thanksgiving and is to be expected when eating in Greek diners (our nearest one serves its greasy Moussaka with potatoes AND rice) but not for our Sunday night dinner. Now I say that the nutritionists must be right--they're the professionals. If they say eat pasta with sweet potatoes and call it nutritious, I'm with them.<BR/><BR/>I store sweet potatoes in the pantry but they start to rot after a couple of weeks. I try to eat them before this happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
