We *think* that's what it's called. My husband works at a grocery store and brought it home, it's pretty big (not moderately as big as a watermelon but definitely bigger than a canteloupe) and I enjoy no idea how to even open preparing it!
Answer:
I worked in Jamaica, and you can used it as a side dish close to yams from the US, in desserts, as a starch component, contained by soups and stews, like beef and pumpkin soup or a traditional Run-Down, a fish stew beside assorted fish, coconut milk, yam, cassava and green bananas.
Even cutting it into rounds or pieces and baking it surrounded by the oven, just toss it surrounded by a little grease and seasonings and cook it in a begin pan resembling raosted white potatos, and serve it as your starch or side veg.
If it looks approaching a HUGE yam then it is a Jamaican yam, so follow the recipe below and soak up. You can use it in anything that you would use a sweet potato or yam surrounded by. It would be good contained by a 'sweet potato pie' recipe, or 'sweet potato pudding'.
