    Jesus, is the entirety of the Americas and Eurasia just dogshit for growing Yams? Also surprising that Europe and Turkey supplies the entire world's supply of poppy seeds, with the Czech Republic being the largest producer.

      i think in the americas (and maybe europe) they grow a lot more sweet potatoes instead, which i recently found out are not the same thing as yams.

        Yes. Actual yams tend to go by the name yucca in America.

        I've had a lot of laughs from white people running cooking/recipe blogs, trying to create "Traditional African recipes", and using sweet potatoes in place of yams.
