Why do we always say sweet potato pie but never yam pie. Sounds weird. Same with fries.
Comment on What’s the difference between yams and sweet potatoes?

“Yam” doesn’t roll off the tongue as beautifully or sound nearly as appetizing

That still doesn’t make sense, if you’re making a fresh pie but using canned ingredients, you might as well buy a pie. I’m sure they taste OK, but sweet potato’s are on of the easiest things to cook, if you want them soft before you put them in the pie, put them in a microwave for a bit.

Not all grocery stores have fresh sweet potatoes all the time either
