Baking Sweet Potato

A young explorer went food scourging round the globe. In the thicket of a Peruvian jungle, he found a humbling solace; a pink ugly root with a subtle sweetness to battle out those devious hunger pangs. He exuded a satisfying smile and spoke aloud with a pirate’s rum drowned voice “ahoy fellas, load these beauties in, let’s take these sweet patata’s all the way to America”. Ever since Columbus got them through sea, we have all loved them. The very thought of sweet potatoes is enough to fill us with an intense craving, as we scuttle our away to the backyard to grab one or two!
