Purple Sweet Potatoes

What I recently found at the grocery store that I didn't know existed: Purple Sweet Potatoes.  I must say, I do love the smell of them -- more than their orange cousins.

Other random trivia: Sweet potatoes are very popular in Korea, as you will find them in foods where they may not be found as commonly in the states.
For instance, there is a food here pronounced  "dun kaus", which translates to basically pork cutlet, or as many in the states would like to call a fried pork tenderloin.  Its similar, but a bit different (I actually think dun kaus is better now).  Anyway, there is an option to have sweet potato filled pork cutlet -- and it is really quite amazing!!
Another unique way of eating sweet potato (pronounced "gogok ma" in Korean) is in a latte... yes, I do mean at a coffee shop.  Right next to the green tea lattes, you will find sweet potato lattes and they are really quite good.  At most places they are a bit yellowish in color, but I did go to one place that used the purple sweet potatoes.
