RE: Food in the Azores

WoW! I'm intrigued by all this amazing food. The sashimi caught my eye at first, then I saw many things that I'd never seen before.
I can see what looks like blood sausages on the side, but the thing right next to the orange slices looks like black pudding to me.
Is the sweet potato you have in Canada more of a greenish colour when cooked? That's what we have in Jamaica, but here in the UK, they have that one on the plate.
The dessert is unusual and I'd have been keen to try it:)))

Sort:  

I thought that blood sausage was black pudding or that they are the same thing but im not sure and maybe I'm getting the name wrong. 🤔

The sweet potatoes here are actually more orange, more vibrant orange. Like the color of butternut squash. I've never seen greenish ones. I've seen purple though but they aren't overly common here.

How you describe the blood sausage sounds like what they call black pudding here, so it's more than likely the same thing, or names that they use interchangeably.

Purple might be what they call Ube in the Philippines... they use it to make ice cream there and it's like a delicacy...

We have purple yams in Jamaica, too, but I'm not sure what they call them.

18 different kinds of yam!? 😜

I'm not keen on yams, but I do like sweet potatoes... and yes, the ones in the UK are more orange like squash.

Okay yeah I think those purple ones are the same as what I've seen here. I've never tried cooking them myself. Ice cream would be cool. I'd try that 😋

So many yams lol.
Sounds like the UK ones are the same as what we get in Canada
