These two vegetables are quite different, and yet alike. Students learn more about them, and appreciate them more when they are served on the Thanksgiving table meal. Botany is the key to our food supply. This is good for a cooking class, culinary assignment, and a holiday homework activity. Use it for an internet activity. Thanks ever so much for visiting! Happy Holidays! Happy Thanksgiving! Kudos to American farmers! In North America, we are more likely to eat sweet potatoes!
