Est-ce le plat de Thanksgiving le plus bizarre d'Amérique ?

Ça n'a rien à voir avec le risque ou avec les sciences (pour ainsi dire). Mais je n'ai pas pu résister à faire cette vidéo ! J'adore Thanksgiving. C'est l'un des meilleurs congés. Faible commercialisation, excellente nourriture et possibilité de se détendre, de rencontrer famille et amis et de penser à tout ce dont on est reconnaissant. Cependant, en tant qu'émigrant britannique dans les anciennes colonies, je me demande vraiment d'où viennent les "Candied Yams" (patates douces confites), sans doute le plat de Thanksgiving le plus bizarre ! Pendant que nous interrompons la discussion sur les risques — c'est Thanksgiving après tout — j'ai demandé à ma co-conspiratrice Alyssa Berry de faire quelques recherches sur les origines de cette étrange et merveilleuse icône du dîner de Thanksgiving américain.
