    Is this not an average size sweet potato where y’all are from?

    Where I live, this is just your standard size tuberf. Maybe a bit on the girthy side, but normally they are at least the length of my forearm.

      No, sweet potatoes here are usually about the size of a fist. Length of a forearm? That’s impressive. And way too much, I’d end up chucking most of it away.

        Actually I find it annoying because I struggle to find one small enough to buy. I live alone, so if I buy one, I have to make sure I’ve got a few different meals planned to use it in, like a curry, a roast, and the leftovers in a salad.

        Although some grocers sell halved ones wrapped in plastic when the whole ones are too big. I think we just have a good climate for them here.

        There’s one grocer I go to that sells mega ones that dwarf the OP picture. Maybe 2-3kg each.

      I find it interesting that you, somehow, linked an article where 186 lbs is in the title and mistakenly exclaimed the previous world record - all so that you can dunk on the unit of measurement.

      I don’t even know what to call this behavior.
