Raleigh Farmer's Market: Sweet Potatoes, Fried Green Tomatoes and Goat's Milk Custard

[Photographs: Chichi Wang] Around this time of year the Raleigh Farmers' Market in North Carolina abounds in sweet potatoes. The state leads the country in sweet potato production—more than forty percent, in fact, of the national harvest. In addition to the more familiar kinds, farmers sell varieties you've probably never heard of. Hernandez and Beauregard sweet potatoes, and my favorite, a variety called "White Batus," which a nearby sign described as "very ugly but very sweet." I roasted all three varieties and found that while the Hernandez and Beauregard potatoes were mildly sweet with a moist orange flesh, the White Batus were exceptionally sweet with dense, creamy interiors.

I wanted to love Goat's Milk Ice Cream, But....

I love chevre, I really do. All kinds: domestic chevre, French chevre, fresh chevre, aged chevre, even goat's milk cheddar. Hell, I like Coach yo-goat yogurt drinks. But try as I might to love Laloo's Goat's Milk Ice Cream, I just can't. At least not the Deep Chocolate flavor. It's just too, well, goaty.
