Patti LaBelle's Sweet Potato Pie, a Bestseller at Wal-Mart Stores

Here is a sweet potato pie made famous by Patti LaBelle. It was not her singing that made it a bestseller. It helps too but her love of cooking and sharing with her fans and celebrity visitors that gives her cheese macaroni, Brisket, sweet potato pie and pot roast must-have soulfoods or dessert this holiday season.

It also took a Los Angeles-based singer, James Wright Chanel, who was tagged by a dubious network. He ended up seeing his name and Patti Labelle's name on the tagged product. He decided to go to Wal-Mart to purchase it. He also decided to review it on his YouTube account. As they say it, the rest is history. It must have been seen by more than 10 million views. Even Patti LaBelle called him to thank him for promoting her product, a collaborative project with Wal-Mart. Even Wal-Mart execs are happy with its customers' reaction and desire to consume the pie.

Who are the Madan Saras? Who are the Flea Market, Swap Meet or Street Vendors? Paying Tribute to Madan De, a Madan Sara!

Who are the Madan Saras?

Who are the Madan Saras? Madan Saras are female Haitian merchants, street vendors who are the principal accumulators, movers, and distributors of domestic produce in Haiti. They are the link between the rural peasant farmers and the city dwellers. They bring the farmers' harvest to the local market. They walk long distance while carrying the produce on their head, donkeys, horses, mules, wheelbarrow, buses, trucks etc. They fold hankerchief to be able to carry vegetables to the market. They got up early so they can sell well. They are the drivers and backbone of the informal Haitian economy. Mrs De was one of the best Madan Sara that Gran Gowav / Grand-GoĆ¢ve has ever produced. A huge part of Haiti was blessed thanks to her efforts and her hard labor.

As soon as the roosters started crowing and the dogs started barking, Madan De was up in the house. She was going to the kitchen in the year and her work on the front porch.
