Sweet potato pie?

I had never made a sweet potato pie before, but decided to give it a whirl.

Delicious flaky crust, check.

Smooth custardy filling, check.

Robust ham flavor, ch-

Wait . . . what?!?

That’s right, my sweet potato pie tastes exactly like ham. While I might be able to make a fortune with a new offering in the fake meats market, this wasn’t the taste sensation I was going for. I tried Googling this phenomenon but was unable to find anyone who’d ended up in the same boat as me. I’ll have to review my recipe, but I don’t remember cured meat being listed among the ingredients. Do you see any bits of ham in there?

So now I’ve got half a ham pie leftover. No amount of whipped cream can cover up that piggy essence.
