Aristophanes posted:Why would you put marshmallows on sweet potato? Dillbag posted:It's an American (southern states?) Thanksgiving thing. A few years ago here in Vancouver some of the local brew pubs put marshmallow-covered yam fries on the menu in the fall because I guess it must be a good idea if the yanks are doing it. They were loving terrible. bringmyfishback posted:I enjoyed the irony of someone denigrating Americans and simultaneously not understanding why one might not call a Southerner a "yank." Look here you bastards roasted marshmallows on sweet potato casserole is delicious and I will not hear your blaspemy  Seriously, it's not like they're regular potatoes. Sweet potatoes are sweet, and basically can be used as a dessert. EDIT: VVV I always thought it was a pretty common Thanksgiving side-dish throughout the country. Also I'm pretty surprised to hear that it apparently sounds gross. Also admittedly yam fries with marhsmallows probably wouldn't be good. But sweet potato as a casserole with brown sugar and marshmallows is amazing and perfect. Hammurabi has a new favorite as of 18:28 on Nov 11, 2014 |

How sheltered of an American are you if you've never heard of marshmallows on sweet potatoes? Or, rather I could ask, I guess, how regional of a dish is this? My own family (Pennsylvania) doesn't make them this way, but it's a very common Thanksgiving side-dish in these parts.

Sweet potatoes with butter and salt is delicious. Sweet potatoes with gobs of whipped sugar thrown on top to make it even more sweet is gross. My family used to always have it and I always felt bad because it took the space of a potentially good side...like succotash.

My mom always made mashed sweet potatoes at thanksgiving. Add some cinnamon, and if you must sweeten it, use some diced orange or maybe maybe brown sugar.

I've lived on both coasts and I've probably heard the words "sweet potato casserole" at some point but it was never served at Thanksgiving by either the CT or CA sides so I ignorantly thought it wasn't a dessert with marshmallows.

My dirt farming west Texas side of the family does the marshmallows over sweet potatoes thing. It's a poor-man's meringue, has been mentioned before. You'll also see marshmallows on toothpicks on cakes, but that's to keep the tin foil/plastic wrap from getting on to the frosting.

Well there's the problem. Coasts. I live in Oklahoma and it's been a staple at thanksgiving every year. Granted it was brought by the person who also insisted on some weird jello with pretzels "salad" from the 70's

Here in the Pacific Northwest marshmallows are illegal and they'll keelhaul you for it if they find out you're part of the marshmallow underground (the white lamps).

DekeThornton posted:Are marshmallows cheaper than egg whites and sugar? Isn't it rather a lazy and tasteless man's meringue? Slightly cheaper perhaps but certainly faster. Could be a result of WW2 rationing as well as not everyone having an electric mixer/good oven/the right climate to not have it spontaneously deflate/melt. When you've spent the last few weeks making sure that the cotton's been planted in time, you kind of stop giving a poo poo about how tasteless something is.

I hadn't heard of the marshmallow sweet potato thing until I was an adult, and thought it sounded disgusting until I tried it. It's really good, although next time I make it I might try the meringue idea.

Oh, hey, sweet potatoes and marshmallow. I'd never heard of it growing up on the West Coast, but my mom's boyfriend introduced this recipe to us one time. I don't think he remembered it very well though. That's a lukewarm slurry of canned yams and marshmallows. And the darkish part in the center is shiitake mushrooms, because ??????? Needless to say, nobody ate any.

To most Americans who haven't had a lot of global exposure or culinary curiosity, the concept of a "meat pie" sounds ridiculous. ("Chicken pot pie" is a weird kind of novelty exception.)

Which is odd because we commonly eat quiches (a pie made with eggs, cheese, and veggies) and are the home of the deep-dish pizza (a pie made with tomato sauce, meat, cheese, and veggies). Like, we're no stranger to savory pies but meat pies is just a phenomenon that is totally alien to us.

My entire family is from northshore Massachusetts and I grew up in Vermont and had no idea sweet potato casserole with marshmallows was not a Thanksgiving staple nationwide. I mean we don't make it because my mom & I are the only ones who like sweet potatoes and the marshmallows are a little much for me but I've never met someone who was unfamiliar with it.
