    Gather 'round, friends, and I will teach you the wonders of the lowly sweet potato. It does not last as long as regular potatoes, and new research findings indicate it loathes being stored in a plastic bag. If you are foolish enough to do this, it will disgorge its displeasure *everywhere*! #Eewww! In my defense, I don't really care for sweet potatoes. I buy them when I want to dry them for dogs or make a casserole for a family thing. I bought one, thinking I would cook it and try again. Needless to say, I had a rather unpleasant surprise when I opened my cupboard, which is now free of liquid sweet potato displeasure.

    @baxaphobia I ... do ... not ... like ... sweet potatoes. I might tolerate it in one of my spicy Indian gravies. But, otherwise, it's not something I enjoy. I think it's the texture. @Lisasali

    @ppatel Texture can ruin any food. I like sweet potatoes baked with butter and a bit of brown sugar. I also like them roasted. And of course sweet potato fries occasionally but they have to be done right. There are a lot of things I can't eat because of the texture: bananas, avacados, tomatos, egg whites are a few.

    @Lisasali Eeww Eeww Eeww! No matter how bad my day gets, at least it will not contain that. I know this because I don't have, nor will I ever have, any sweet potatoes in my house, liquified or otherwise. I have cleaned various bodily fluids from animals and children, but for some reason nothing grosses me out more than slimy/liquified produce. Glad to hear you've survived this unexpected adventure, and hope it is a once in a lifetime experience.

    @ricky_enger yes, exactly this! I remember when my one sister talked me into feeling a carrot that had kind of gone south. It wasn't slimy, but it was rubbery. It freaked me out, and she ended up chasing me through the house with it, and he screaming like a banshee the whole time. I think we were only like five and six, but I do count it as one of the major traumas in my life. Smiling face with smiling 👀
