I love sweet potato casserole with marshmallows--but they can keep the oranges.

I'm not fond of yams or sweet potatoes, myself, but I can see the orange not being a bad thing. Citrus fruits do tend to help bring out flavors in other foods, just as salt does with some dishes.

That's true. I don't add orange slices, but I used a sweet potato recipe that called for some orange juice and it was really good.

I thought the red things were bacon.

So ... even with the oranges, this is supposed to be a main course side dish, not a dessert, right? It sounds like a very weird dish to my foreign ears, but one I really want to try one day. With or without oranges.

Yup, it's a side dish. In my family, it was sweet potatoes instead of yams, and we pretty much only had it as a side dish with Thanksgiving dinners.

In the US, it's usually a side dish, but it's sweet enough to be a dessert. Many people will eat a dish like this as a side and then have sweet potato or pumpkin pie for dessert!

Sounds like a dessert to me.

Growing up my mother made sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving. I absolutely hated them, don't know why as I eat EVERYTHING! She would include maply-bacon strips in it and I remember picking those out and eating them...but not the sweet potato. Yuck.

My aunt made this for Thanksgiving for years. It was the only time of the year I was forced to be around sweet potatoes, and I hated them. Horribly sweet, gooey, and just unpleasant. It wasn't until I was in my 20s and I had an actual, unsullied, wonderfully baked sweet potato that I discovered I actually liked them. Now I have them all the time, with just a bit of butter. Perfect.

The part I don't like is the marshmallows with the sweet potatoes. I like both, but in other things.
