How to Distinguish a Banana from a Yam

Sweet potatoes are members of the species
Ipomoea batatas.

That is not, my good friends,
Ipomoea bananas.

A sweet potato is orange in and out,
except when it is brown outside.
A banana is yellow out and white in.

A sweet potato, though,
is not a true yam, i.e.,

a member of the family
Dioscoreaceae.

There is absolutely no truth
to the rumor that the banana

belongs to the yam Diaspora.

Impressive, a man who knows his batatas from his bananas.

Well done again Chris
