Yams are a big deal here. If the yams from your garden are scrawny, it means you haven't been behaving properly and as a result the yam "meat" translocated itself to another garden.
And the other day I found out that people here used to have these enormous yam gardens. They'd dig up all the yams at once, paint each one, then build a 3 or 4 story structure to house them all. Then for weeks people would guard the giant yam pile, sleeping on and around it for weeks until they'd throw a huge yam party where people would come from all over to eat the yams and have lots of sex.
Now is that fascinating or is that fascinating??
