Dear List:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS,

Welcome to Tylertown, Mississippi,

Cooking reflects the diversity of our culture, combining elements from around
the world: African, and Caucasian to begin with.
Influences from the Far East and European countryside may be found in this
historically important country town. Those flavors are mingled with our
abundant local sweet potatoes. Finally, a masterful blending of
evaporated milk that have come from Tylertown or surround the towns give us
its
distinctive complexion.

Many of our recipes came down through the generations, and we carry on the
tradition of our ancestors, who in the kitchens of Tylertown, invented this
world-class cuisine, etc...

We hope you will enjoy this recipe, and will become part of our family!!!
