It is not a sweet potato like the Japanese one, which is called beni imo. It also gets confused with taro, which is a root veg from South Asia that has kind of spread all over the Asian region and is also popular in Hawaii.

The quality did tend to rise when the catering company’s contract was up for renewal and then dip down after they got it. I do remember there was a thing called ‘Pasta King’ which seemed to be a nationwide brand - the pasta itself was fine, but the sauces weren’t great. Really, ‘Pasta Adequacy’ would be a more fitting name, if perhaps a less marketable one.

      Santiago Garcia how many British people not liking spicy things do you have to observe before you conclude it must be a “British thing” because I’m absolutely fine with spicy food and always have been, so are most people I have eaten with

    Much love from the Philippines! 💌 As a fan, I've always hoped to see one of the snacks from here be featured in an Ashens video.
    Ube is a purple yam, and it is a sweet treat. The specific Ube cake is a popular snack for kids, and it comes in like 5 great flavors! Pandan*, Melon, Mocha, Ube, and something else I forget.
    They are excitingly plain! But not bad if you need something in your belly.
    p.s. I'm not sure how they are baked, because sometimes if you open one, the outer brown part is 'peeled off' from the colored, spongy inside.
    * Pandan is a natural green-colored flavoring from a plant. It's often paired with coconut.

      Tribdinosaur Please don't spam just saying "Proud to be a filipino" It's already cancerous to spam in the already garbage comment sections of any video with a *LITTLE* part of it including the Philippines.

    As a Filipino Brit from the outskirts of London raised by Filipinos, I'd have to agree with that statement to some extent. Since that has been sealed for quite some time, the flavour disappears or maybe it's been dumbed down. Try fresh Ube cake, it tastes way better and is very accessible if you have a Filipino friend.

    A lot of cheap Russian foods are made with practically no quality standards, so they use only the cheapest ingredients and things end up tasting like cardboard with flavouring. Then again a lot of actual quality Russian foods are amazing as well. Also the package on the waffles actually read sour cream.

    The best recommendation for a foodstuff I've ever heard:
    "It tastes like a bin." Perfect.
    If you drink a lot of prickly pear juice, it will turn your urine purple, so I have been told.
