Boss and former coworker got into a very amusing argument over this and it got me curious.

    Our cans of sweet potatoes have an alternate label on the back that says yams, so apparently not much. (This is in the USA)

      You have sweet potato’s in cans? That sounds awful.are they pre-cooked? I don’t understand why?

        They’re quicker for making sweet potato pie since they’re already cooked. You add plenty of other ingredients to the filling so there’s less difference in the final product between canned and fresh

        They’re primarily used in as an ingredient. Often they are suspended in a sweet syrup and are thoroughly mashed to make a pie filling, it’s actually not bad.

      yeah it says they’re yams, but they have no relation to yams at all
