The life of taro and pepper is today’s treat

When I was little, grandpa taught me a rather puzzling jingle: "Sweet potato and taro are surnamed Zhang, better roasted than boiled for long." Even today I still haven't figured out why on earth they had anything to do with the surname Zhang, but I love them anyway! At the beginning of the year, several rows of taro were planted at the gate of the front yard, and water yam at the back door. Now it’s just the time to feast on them. Taro with chicken stew, roasted taro, eggs with taro balls in brown sugar… And you? How do you like your taro best?
