Finally
So we've just had a very late thanksgiving meal.. I had my first 'proper' dishes.
Sweet potato wth marshmallows and green bean casserole with mushroom soup and fried onions.
I can't even speak. That is all 😳😳😲

A very very late thanksgiving meal. I'm an American and never had a string bean casserole with mushroom soup and canned fried onions in my life. And never will. Those outside of the South do not consider this a proper dish.
As for those god awful marshmallow sweet potato casseroles, barf city. Sweet potatoes are already sweet. They don't need added sugary adornment. Simply bake them and eat 'em.

I can eat the green bean dish if I absolutely have to, but as for the other....

My good lady made green bean casserole, with mushroom soup and fried onions to have with our Christmas dinner, I just looked at it thinking, barf in a dish!
But it certainly tasted a lot better than it looked!!

As long as you add a can of crushed pineapple, the sweet potato and marshmallow dish is superb. The food of the gods. It is in fact the highest expression of American civilisation.

Re: Finally
Welcome to The South ..... diabetes on a plate. 
No, that's nasty too. There are plenty of good things to eat around here, and chicken and waffles isn't one of them. 
I sometimes wonder if you might succumb to dementia. 
I think I have an answer now. 
.... Now I know food like chicken and waffles is simply heaven on a plate, but that is taking it to the next extreme.

Maybe it wasn't a thing in my California family.

How to prepare sweet potatoes...
1. Wash thoroughly
2. Put in a 350 degree oven for two hours
3. Remove from oven and allow to cool
4. Throw them in the bin and make real chips!
