Made me think of a song from the 40s, Yamtang Yamtang Rankytang by Norris the Troubadour, remembering when meat wasn’t available for the meal… (At least that’s how I remember the song.)
This reminds me of an old Cathy cartoon where her parents were making the best of not being able to afford to travel by imagining they were journeying around the world through a week of eating international frozen vegetables. As I recall, Cathy accused them of guilt tripping her with their cheerful attitude towards a disappointing lack of vacation.
If you haven’t tried it, don’t knock it. I had it at a Thai place. It is actually really good. Very Asian. It’s also common with adzuki/aduki bean paste.

Okonomiyaki and you’re in Japan (I would like to not only try to make that dish, but also go to its country of origin).

Can you call the Health Department? Maybe get some Food Inspectors to come by and do some inspecting?

My mother would make pig jello. I would prefer that to jellied yams.

She probably means Sweet Potatoes. We don’t usually have yams in the U. S.
