... How many of you were subjected to yams with

'Subjected'? What's wrong with yams? In the immortal words of Popeye,
"I
yam what I yam..."



Nothing wrong with the yams. Some of my best friends are yams. I just
don't
understand why some people feel the need to cover them with a layer of
marshmallows.




There isn't enough "sugar" already in the yams, and Americans want to
further sicken themselves with a bit more?

Actually, I do know why, but it's not PC to explain directly. Indirectly:
When I was shopping for the dinner, there were two people in front of the
yam display, which was about 8 feet wide. There was no room for a third
person. Both people left with bags of mini-marshmallows. :-)
