Something wonderful happened over the Thanksgiving holiday you might have missed: Al Roker made a heaping batch of his mother’s “sweet potato poon” and shared it with the cast of the Today show.

To have Roker explain it, sweet potato poon is a special dish his mother makes for Thanksgiving. “It is basically a crustless sweet potato pie,” Roker says. “It’s a little sweet, a little savory, it’s fantastic. But the best part about it is the marshmallow on top.”

It goes without saying that “poon” is not a word typically reserved for crustless sweet potato pies topped with marshmallows. Urban Dictionary defines poon as “A female’s genital organ (vagina).”

Roker was joined by his younger brother to whip up some of his mother’s famous poon on the Today show Thursday. Craig Melvin loved it. Watch above, via NBC.

The reaction to Roker’s dish on social media was naturally more depraved than that of his Today show co-stars.
