16. Actually, if you live in the South, you have had sweet potato pie across racial lines.

I never tasted one until I went to college in SC. My roommate's, old white Granny served it to us; and it was awesome. Hands down, sweet potato pie is better than pumpkin pie... Shoot there's that song that goes... "sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth.." Its a great song that we used to play at parties, normally towards the winter months when we were forced inside, and drinking shots to warm up from snowmobiling... And all of my girls would get crazy with the song like we were doing our best karaoke impression, dance on coffee tables and pick roll up a magazine, or grab a whisk and use it as our fake mics. It was always great fun. Normally, over the top, drunk as hell white, VT fools, underage drinking at someone's home. Always great fun.

Anyway, I didn't actually have sweet potato pie until being in the South. And it is wayyyy better than Pumpkin Pie. If more people tasted, I think it would win over Pumpkin Pie most of the time.
