M8.... put equal parts brown sugar and water, a whole orange peel, two cinnamon sticks, and two shots of Jack Daniels, boil and reduce the liquid to a syrup.

Drizzle that shit over mashed sweet potatoes and you'll probably cream your pants.

>sugar
>sugary alcohol
You'll get fat

>>37875880
what is moderation?

>>37875880
You have to add the sugar in order to make a simple syrup. It also acts as a place for those flavors extracted from other ingredients to latch on to.

That said you're obviously not supposed to eat two cups of this shit. Use your head.

Your opinion is objectively wrong.

They serve as storage organs for nutrients for the potato plant. They are used for the plant's perennation (survival of the winter or dry months), to provide energy and nutrients for regrowth during the next growing season, and as a means of asexual reproduction.

So do Germans. Boil up a half a dozen with the skin on, just leave them on the kitchen counter wrapped in newspaper. They will keep for several days. Just grab one and eat it like an apple.

Yes but what are the poor people eating?

The traditional Okinawan diet was primarily composed of sweet potatoes. The Okinawans are incidently also the longest living people in the world (with the exception of Adventist vegetarians). Truly a god-tier starch.

You do realize that when you cook protein with sugars they form complexes that activate both the sweet and umami receptors on you tongue. It's one of the most sought after flavors because normally they're activated individually which mean less dopamine spike in the brain. Cooking proteins with some sugar is literally God tier cooking. Do some research
