Bathroom Monologue: Sweet Potato Revolution
Sweet potato soup, sweet potato casserole and sweet potato pie. You can get everything sweet potatoes make at the festival, the fourth annum of the revolution. Sweet potato toast in the morning, and sweet potato shakes for the health-conscious. There are sweet potato fries served hot from dawn to dusk, though some sweet potatoes dislike that they're fried in mammal fat. Others decry that as a bit of a hypocrisy and against the spirit of the festival. Most sweet potatoes savor the flavor, and they experiment in realms culinary with their livestock. It's said to be like what Thanksgiving was for humans, though since the revolution it's sweet potatoes that eat humans, and in so many ways.

I shudder to think about the ways that Brussel Sprouts would experiment. Sweet potatoes are much less malevolent.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I won't be the only one, but I totally thought of Forest Gump and shrimp. lol!
ReplyDeleteOh ono! I'll never look at a sweet potato in the same way again ^_^ I found this story on the blog hop page.
ReplyDeleteAhahah that's nice! I thought you were talking just about festivals!!!Anyway I never tried sweet potatoes,I should before they rule the world!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds yammy.
ReplyDeleteSweet potatoes are great and good for you too. I like making soup with them. YUM!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully weird story!
I picture triffids, except... pinky-orange.
ReplyDeletePossible typo: did you mean "annum" when you wrote "anum"?
I did indeed, and thank you for catching a grotesque typo.
DeleteAhahaha! At first I started getting hungry (I make my sweet potato fries w/ a homemade cinnamon butter) but then....well, you blew it. :)
ReplyDeleteI used to like sweet potatoes but I don't anymore. So in a spud eat spud world, I'd have no compunction poking a potatoes eyes out

Now you've got me wondering what the world would look like if asparagus joined them sweet potatoes. They grow fast, you know ;)
ReplyDeleteThat was an unexpected twist on a culinary classic! I think I'll make sweet potato souffle tonight, before they get any ideas:)
ReplyDeleteI've always had a feeling sweet potatoes were a little dodgy. now I know why!
ReplyDeleteDamn. Such uppity sweet potatoes!
ReplyDeleteWas this by any chance inspired by either the movie Soylent Green or the To Serve Man episode of The Twilight Zone? Definitely has that vibe for me.
ReplyDeleteIt was a little bit Forrest Gump and a little bit angry vegetarian protesting that I'd been seeing. "To Serve Man" came to mind shortly thereafter, and I used the pun for tweet promotion.
