Kee Noo

[Khun Ngo]

Does anybody know what this vegetable, which tastes a bit similar to potatoes

is called in English?

[gotlost]

Mun toh puek (มันต่อเผือก) or purple sweet potato is a variety of the, well, sweet potato in Thailand. Mun is the Thai word for potatoes

[sceadugenga]

Kha-Nom is sweet potato?

[Khun Ngo]

Thank you gotlost, this is it. There may be different kinds of sweet potatoes, as the sweet potatoes that I had

before where different looking and tasting.

Most southerners call them "Kee noo", and I had no luck with dictionaries and google...

Kha-Nom ist not the word for sweet potato but for dessert or maybe snack.

But there is a "Kha-Nom Kee Noo", maybe this dessert contains sweet potatoes...
