Is the snake an ingredient in the salad?
I bought and roasted purple sweet potatoes for our Christmas dinner. They were deep purple in color and sweeter than regular sweet potatoes due, evidently, to a higher natural sugar content. They were delicious! I'll enjoy hearing about the taste and texture or the purple cauliflower compared to the white.
