I went to a friend's for Thanksgiving and they didn't have mashed potatoes but they had sweet potatoes with marshmallows :thunk:

My family does for sure. Both sides are from German immigrant families that moved to Texas in the late 1800s, not sure if that matters.

It's really popular in the south from my experience. Sweet potatoes are already super sweet and marshmallows on top is overkill imo. My mom would just cut them into small cubes and cover them in tons of butter and bake them until they just start getting soft.

My in laws do it, the sweet potatoes are cut in like thirds so they're giant chunks. They just put some butter and brown sugar in and then dump marshmallows on top before it goes in the oven, to cook the raw sweet potatoes, so instead of "broiled marshmallows" it's more like "sweet potatoes stewed in marshmallow fluff"

Yeah nothing really beats just a plain sweet potato, mushed up with fork and botter. NOT A RAW, Salt, pepepr. In it

This was a staple for Thanksgiving in my family. It was great for about 3 bites.

Sweet potatoes are best as a hash. Sweet potato + onion/pepper/garlic/sausage is something I'll do once a month or so.

My family makes a baked sweet potatoes mash with a topping of brown sugar and pecans and such instead and it has converted many a sweet potato skeptic.
Marshmallow sounds gross though.

It's OK but it was literally invented by a marshmallow company to sell marshmallows, not by humans for eating, and it kind of shows.

Yeah, we don't have it too often, but I'm definitely more a fan of the butter/brown sugar topping than marshmallows.

marshmallows are just sugar with worse texture. way overkill on sweet potatoes and pretty nasty in general. they always just taste like the plastic bag they're in.

nthing the butter and brown sugar roast, although my mom boils before baking which again seems like overkill and probably saps the nutrients down to zero for my hog extended family to not feel like they're having a veggie. same goes for green beans, I made completely from scratch with all home grown ingredients and no one but me touched it except to be polite.

I forgot what thread I was reading and was thinking I should congratulate someone on a nice looking pizza. The sad dick mushrooms are just what a lot of mushrooms look like and are probably home-grown (oyster mushrooms?) or foraged and almost certainly better than supermarket buttons, maybe they would look a little bit better if you chopped them up, but that looks great.

[ed. Those also look like some psilocybin mushrooms, and I'm pretty sure that you destroy the effect if you cook them, so maybe it's a tragedy in that respect]

Those are poplar mushrooms aka yanagi-matsutake. They are ok, but very mild tasting

Those mushrooms are sold here as shi-maggi and they have a mild nutty flavour, maybe not the best choice to be smothered in cheese and sauce but absolutely fine.

Sheetz is definitely famous for having good food to order compared to typical gas stations, I'm not aware of any particular reputation for Kum & Go aside from the silly name.

Pretty sure it's just "inspired by" her sauce and they didn't really try to use her recipes, because she couldn't keep the recipe straight from day to day. It's orange because the only way to get the violently pink colour was using food colouring, and she doesn't want to admit she was doing that. A real company has to comply with labeling laws, so they won't slip in a little red #3 and not mention it.



Weirdly it does contain titanium dioxide for color. Titanium dioxide is a bright white pigment, so I wonder what color this would be without it? Brownish?

My mom switched from the marshmallow topping on mashed sweet potatoes to candied sweet potato slices in butter and brown sugar.

There's a comedian up here in Seattle that - according to rumor - used to eat seagull eggs when he was homeless. He made a shirt commemorating that rumor. I'm phone posting so uh here's a link to his merch shop I guess because I have no idea how to post an image on mobile.

It's probably from the ranch they used.
