Yams Or Sweet Potato?

[jenscats5]

You are on...........Now, what's a Plantene or whatever that looks like bananas?

A Plaintain is similar in shape to a banana but I don't think they are similar. I don't like plantains myself -- I don't like the taste & they aren't sweet like bananas.

I know my fair share of food too, but Plantains just look funky.....I can count how times I've aten fruit in the past 3 years on one hand.....got sicker than a f-ing pig in Costa Rica about 3 years ago off an apple with some sort of pesticide on it.....I was seconds from being flown back to the states because we thought my appendix burst....havent broken the fear.........

Ok...so does everybody here think that ( for me ) eating Tuna fish with a sweet potato is a good meal and low glycemic? But Sweet potato does have sugar in it too you know.
