Grew up in "Nawlins"
...there were "Fried Pies" delivered to all the small groceries daily, a virtual compendium of flavors / fillings, and dependent on what was in season,...
I'm thinkin' of the Lemon creme, and the SWEET POTATO ones,...
flaky pastry crust, dipped in LOTS of crispy sugar.
I saw them come off the delivery truck still STEAMING in Winter.
Semper Coonass !
