Not really. I jes' like to say it because it makes me happy. 

Still you do hear it, and I expect one hears it more frequently in some areas 
than in others. As in "Stop fussing them pigs, Cletis and run get yo'self a 
swee'po'tatie while they's hot." 

Of course 'Tatie is also what Hemingway's first wife called him, at least 
until he left her and the kid for that runt from Vogue----Pauline was it?--- 
at which point one assumes 'Tatie ceased to be her 'sweetpatootie.'

So you say the rhizomes actually steam rather than roast, Walta? Interesting 
distinction. It was the first time I'd seen any such thing, and the only.
