The kumara

Kumara, pronounced KOO-murra, is a native New Zealand sweet potato.  They are very cheap at the grocery store, although there are various grades of quality.  This is a small one on a plate.  I washed it and microwaved it for four minutes until it was soft.

I sliced it open, isn't it nice and golden?

It tastes just like any other sweet potato I've ever had.  We all had some; even Arram enjoyed it mashed up.
