Today we find ourselves in South Carolina. We meet one the most esteemed characters in African American folklore. High John the Conqueror and we see how his wit and intelligence allows him to get over on ole’ Massa.    Book: The Adventures of High John the Conqueror By Steve Sanfield Chef, has served up a sweet side dish. We are having Sweet Carolina Cornbread. This is a pleasure to make in the Galley just for you and I hope you enjoy it.
