My family used to get teased a lot about sweet potatoes when I was growing up. They said we ate sweet potatoes like other people ate bread. We did. My daddy grew sweet potatoes so that was what we had. Even today, some of my sisters won’t have them because we ate them so often. One sister says all she can do with a sweet potato is put it in her pocket and keep her hands warm, like we used to do on the way to school. We didn’t have gloves in the depression, so you had to think of something.
