This dish, a staple in Southern and holiday meals, traces back to African culinary traditions, blending with the sweet potato crops prevalent in the Americas. Its evolution into a sugary comfort food symbolizes a rich history of cultural fusion. Keen to know if anyone's unearthed more on its origins.
