Comment on What’s the difference between yams and sweet potatoes?
TheSaneWriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com 1 year agoI see. So it’s a little bit like how in the U.S. pickles refers to pickled cucumbers, but in other places pickles can refer to other pickled foods. Yams are to sweet potatoes what pickles are to pickled cucumbers.

Another fun layer I’ve encountered recently has been “pickles” referring to a specific variety of (non-pickled) cucumbers that are usually used for pickling. So pickles are pickled pickles.

Where has that video disappeared?

Gherkins are pickled cucumbers originally. Now Gherkins are the name used by brands in the US for the baby pickles.
