Yaaam?? Sorry dear, no matter the quality and shine of the robe with which you choose to dress yam, my first reaction is usually defensive.

Not that I have not encountered some fantastic yam preparations that totally rinsed my prejudice.

Just that I grew up in a home where most of the people were yam lovers and they force-fed their favorite yam down my throat much to my distaste.

Today, I don't just run, I flee from any dining table that has yam sticking its hairy hands from it.

I flee without looking back but the few times I have lately been ambushed by yam were not really bad experiences just that I don't sit back and reminisce of that feast of yam and I don't go hoping for a repeat.

My unspoken mantra has always been, yam, please, avoid, me!!

A horrible conservative eater, I'm not the ideal person for food tours as I usually eat a specific kind of dish in every restaurant I visit.

The chosen dish must have been fantastic the first time I tried, so in order not to tempt the benevolence of the gods, I stick to the one that worked on the first day.

That's for the sake of peace and for the sake of tomorrow.
