Arminta Foushee - On her grandparent's cooking (clip)
Interviewed by Arminta Foushee on September 29, 2022
Kathryn Wall (KW): Did your grandmother do most of the cooking–when you were–on these Sunday family meals, was she the cook in the family or did your mom do a lot of cooking?
Arminta Foushee (AF): My grandmother did most of the cooking, but my grandfather would also cook meals too. He liked to–.
KW: Because he was a chef, so that makes sense.
AF: Yeah, and his stuff was really good. But he made the best pies and desserts. He made the best sweet potato pie. And my grandmother’s specialty was pound cakes. Her pound cakes–I mean–she would make pound cakes for people. They’d ask her to make cakes. But my grandfather, he had a sweet tooth, he loved making sweets. He’d do little silly stuff like–my grandmother always made homemade biscuits–so–and she had cooked sweet potatoes, he’d make a sweet potato pie out of his biscuit. Take the potato, put it between the biscuit and mmm sweet potato pie!
KW: [Laughter]
AF: [Laughter] You were asking something?
KW: (illegible)
AF: Oh, yeah, go ahead! Take that out.
