Here in Brasil we call it inhame. I love it mashed with butter and salt 😮❤

in the philippines we call this "gabi"! We usually use it as an ingredient in a meaty sour soup called Sinigang, and pair all that with rice (yea we eat yams with rice)

I miss Nigeria so much! I have memories of my mom packing yam porridge as lunch for i and my siblings. My favorite yam dish is pounded yam, porridge, yam & omelette in that order 😂

Yam is Soo good people don't know what they are missing. And you don't need to eat much of it, it's so filling.

Wait so fufu was actually the processed way of preparing yam? It didn't phase to me until now.
I'm just so use to eating it boiled.
Those yam balls look like croquettes. I would like to try those yam balls with cheese and parsley inside.
Ummm 😊
