They're quite different from any baked potatoes I've ever had. Oddly enough, they taste like pumpkin pie. The Japan store Don Quijote, bought our local supermarket and these carts appeared in the store one day. Ha ha, that's just so weird. They are kind of expensive at 2 for $5 but I'm gonna get me some when I go food shopping. >>>>> https://tokyocheapo.com/food-and-dri...-sweet-potato/ >>>> >>>> >>>> I started living in NYC in 1971.

My memories of NYC street food only go back to my teens. There is a phenomenal food truck culture that has grown up there in the last 10-15 years. Best stuffed arepas I ever had was from an Colombian or Venezuela food cart. Cannot recall which, because we sampled food from several South America carts at that festival on 6th Avenue a couple of years ago. |
