DO YOU KNOW WHAT THESE ARE ?

Yams , and are related to the larger sweet potato .
 Yam  are  the tubers of the oxalis plant....where I live it is a weed.....there are 100`s of family members ...these are commonly known as New Zealand Yam or Oca , the leaves of the oxalis plant can be used in place of sorrel .
The name varies depending where the tubers are cultivated ....... uga ,ibias , quiba , truffette acide , knollen sauerklee
I like them best...... raw ,  sliced and  dipped in marinated lemon
or thinly sliced on a  cracker with camembert cheese and  cornichons .
