3.  SWEET POTATO BISCUITS WITH COUNTRY HAM

Wow, I love anything sweet potato and never thought of sweet potato biscuits.  They suggest you make the biscuits if you make them a day or two ahead of time.  And, it gets even better when you pile that good old N.C. country ham in it.  Red-eye gravy anybody?

Most North Carolinians have had collards, but the mild, tender, leafy, pale cabbage collards Down East are not as well-known.
