James Mckennie: Dessert Connoisseur Extraordinaire

James Mckennie: Dessert Connoisseur Extraordinaire

                The past weekend I was traveling through Macon, Georgia. I don't remember exactly why I was(I had a lot of drinks) , but it was probably for a good reason. While I was there, I happened to come across this nice little diner spot called, A taste of Macon. Normally I don't do diners but at this point I was desperate at 2:00 in the morning. The menu had a variety of choices which was good. But every single item had SWEET POTATOES in them! Things like chips, fries, chicken, and even soda(which was surprisingly good) had it. After contemplating my choices, I decided to just to get a 24 inch Sweet Potato Pie. THAT WAS THE BEST CHOICE OF MY LIFE(Besides my wife). Everything was perfect in it. At this point  I had to talk to whoever made it.

                After hours of talking with the cook( she wanted to be called Aunt Jemima) , I learned a lot of things from her. When we started, she began telling how most of the ingredients in sweet potato pie came from the Old World to the New World.  Eggs came from chicken which came from Africa. Butter and Milk which came from the cow came from Africa. Sugar, spices , and sweet potato came from Africa. The only thing she said that came from the New World to Africa was Vanilla.  Aunt Jemima also reminded me that the dish came from Africa in the slave trade. But anyway, if your ever in Macon, Georgia,  have a bite there. Hey you never know, I might be there(but I don't do autographs).
