When sweet turns bad.

So, I am loving sweet taters, yep, loving them. I boil them, bake them, steam them, and even fried them in a little pam and scalding water. They were delicious. So, we go out to eat and I ask the waitress for a baked sweet potato with nothing on it, nothing, no brown sugar, nothing, and they bring me back this huge potato, I swear it was two pounds or more. It covered an entire plate, well maybe not the entire but pretty close to it and so I cut the end off and ate maybe two bites and brought the rest home and wrapped it up and put it in the refrig and over the next day or so it was scooted from the front of the refrig to the back and then, this morning, I opened the door of the refrig and a smell hit me, gross smell. I searched and searched and finally saw that sweet tater in the plastic wrap and I grab it thinking, oh the hell with the smell, I'm going to eat this tater and since I like cold food better than hot, I took my spoon and dug into the tater and got it close to my mouth and thank god I smelled it first, oh my god. Let's just say that sweet potatoes are not going to be frequent visitors in my house for a while.

oh you poor sweet tater lover.......i ate them for the first time last year...first time ever in my life.....I over dosed on them and now my skin crawls when i see one.... have a good day tammy

OH NO, not the sweet potato????? If it was that close to going bad it's a good thing it didn't make you sick the first time you ate it. Susan
