    Can you get sweet potatoes at a decent price? In the American South
    sweet potato pie is as popular as pumpkin. -aem

    However, I do wonder if originally this sweet potato pie was made with
    the off-white, mealy sweet potato, not the runny, watery orange
    perfumy-type sweet potato that is pervasive in American supermarkets.

    Dunno, but my grandmother always used an orange-fleshed sweet potato for
    her pies and they wer delicious. She baked the potatoes, rather than
    paring and boiling. They were not watery. Not sure what you mean by
    perfumy.


    Shall I say, they are perfumy in the sense that parsnips to some are
    perfumy. Thanks for the information that your grandmother used the
    orange-fleshed sweet potato. I have always envisioned sweet potato pie of
    the south made from the other kind. I can only remember eating s.p.pie once
    or twice -- probably in North Carolina.
    Thanks, Wayne,

    Well, there's the whole 'yam vs. sweet potato' discussion. I bought a
    'sweet potato pie' from an AME church bake sale once, and innocently
    asked if it was made with yams or sweet potatoes. The lady who baked
    it said, "yams, but either will do." Two other ladies immediately
    jumped in to debate that, and they were still talking when I took the
    pie and escaped. I've not made a pie, but for side dish purposes I
    think yams are a little sweeter. -aem
