Camote is by far the best food in the world. Why?
First, it prevents colon cancer, second it scrubs the bacteria and numerous types of toxins away from the intestinal walls of your stomach. And because of its neutral glycemic acid it can prevent the occurrence of diabetes. And finally, camote can even be eaten by an infant and the oldest person in the universe.

Uy! Kamote! I also add kamote to lumpiang togue. Adds a hint of sweetness. But Papaya? Interesting, I must check that out…

Love sweet potatoes, however I find them, regardless of their names. Used to get them roasted in Japan, buy them by the 100g. Find little pickup trucks with chimneys(!), roasting them over coals.

My introduction to camote-cue was at Pension Ivatan, in Batanes .

Heck, just bake ‘em and throw a little butter on ‘em, better than regular baked potato.

I agree with you, Ajay. I think we Filipinos need a complete mindset change as far as our staple food. In terms of land, water, fertilizer and other requirements needed for growing rice, it’s just not sustainable for a country like ours.

P34 to a kilo??? Wow… And there’s nothing that could be done about that?

Well, if there should be an upside to that, less rice means less source of diabetes. heh! Pretty lame but whatever floats your boat, huh?
