No, I was down at the drug store enjoying a phosphate and reading the latest serialized Fitzgerald in Colliers when I overheard the young ladies and gentlemen discussing their latest electronic tabulating machines. They were having quite a frolick!

They should be using Kudzu, not sweet potatoes. Leaves for salad, root for starch, vines for baskets or ropes. Naturally resistant to disease, bugs, and paraquat.

Some actually cook and eat these for Thanksgiving dinner. Radical, but there it is.

Somehow, the picture of a flying gerbil, riding a sweet potato on a column of flame has put me somewhere, looking for the sauce!

I like a tiny bit of cinnamon on mine.
Along with the butter and salt of course.

The Noguni Sokan Shrine was built in 1955 to commemorate the arrival of the sweet potato from China. The shrine is designed in both Chinese and Ryukyu style. Two stone-made Shishi (Chinese lion) statues sent from Hui An Province, Quan Zhou City, Fujian, China are displayed in the shrine. Noguni Sokan introduced the sweet potato to Ryukyu in 1605. In 2005, Kadena town will celebrate its 400th anniversary. The town is promoting a special event for the anniversary. People related to Kadena town in anyway is asked to donate Awamori (Ryukyu liquor). The town plans to dedicate the donated Awamori at the event.
Noguni Soukan is a loved, respected and revered figure in Okinawa history, carrying the title Umu-Ufushu, or Sir Sweet Potato. His efforts are credited with saving countless thousands of lives of people who experienced famine and other disasters across Japan.
The Japanese have known about the benefits of the sweet potato in alleviating starvation for some time now.
