   You got me all curious as to what a "kumera" is. From my reading, it appears to be a sweet potato. Is there anything about a New Zealand kumera that would distinguish it from a North American sweet potato?

   Reply from little cutlet: I think kumera is just the general term in the antipodes for sweet potatoes. But it differs from country to country, state to state. In sydney, we tend to call white sweet potatoes, 'sweet potatoes' and orange sweet potato 'kumera'. But its not really an everyday vegie in australia, so i think that's why its nomenclature varies so much. best 10/09/07
