U.S. Sweet Potatoes All the Rage in Europe
Saturday, December 4, 2010 10:15Great Britain gave us Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, and John Lennon, so now we’re returning the favor… sending the Brits all our sweet potatoes.
While the U.S. dollar sinks deeper into the toilet, American sweet potato exports, between 2005 and 2009, have more than doubled, reaching $51.4 million. Great Britain is the major buyer.
Wow, I can’t picture our sophisticated tea-sipping neighbors to the east, cooking up those disgusting sweet potatoes with the marshmallows on top. My word!
