Thanx for responding. My error. I had just seen several Inhames in recipes, called ‘Yams'.

It's ok Mel. To be honest, for the longest time I thought yams were inhames, I'm sure many other people do as well.

Inhames are NOT what Americans know as Yams, they are TARO ROOT.
Completely different tuber.
Being Portuguese, I love Inhames.
Thanx for the recipes though.
