Nagaimo yam
Nagaimo, also known as Chinese yam, is a popular ingredient in Asian cuisine. Long and cylindrical, it has thin, brownish skin. The raw vegetable has white, crispy flesh. Cooking makes it squishy and slimy like okra.
Nagaimo can be grated and used to produce a starchy paste for traditional Japanese soups, stews, and stir fry recipes. It’s a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber.
Nagaimo is scientifically known as Dioscorea opposita var. esculenta.

P- Potato Skins
In the Summer Months I always loved having Potato wrapped in foil and buried around the hot coals on the BBQ until the Potato was baked, inside was nicely cooked and the skins were baked till crisp, I’d pull the potato out of its skin put a pat of butter on the potato and let it melt inside the potato! Then I’d dip the skin in a bowl of melted butter with garlic and savour every bite, oh how tasty it was… I sure miss those Baked Potato Skins. 😋😋😋
