Now here’s a question: If sweet potatoes are a Southern type food, how did they make it on the menu as a traditional Thanksgiving dish which I always thought was from New England, Pilgrims, Plymouth Rock, etc. Does anyone know?

That’s an easy question to answer. Seaports. Thats why we have so many homes built here in the 1700s with a carved wooden pineapple over the doorway. The seafaring captains always brought items home from far away lands and shared with all their friends and neighbors. Chow Jim
