National Chocolate Pecan Pie is the food celebration.
A Thanksgiving and Christmas time table staple, pecan pie was first baked by the French in New Orleans. However, it was Native Americans who first introduced pecans to the French.
Personal Story from Laura:
"My first encounter with pecans occurred when I was about six. Mom and Dad had another couple over to play Bridge. It turns out they didn't have enough pecan pie for the adults and kids, so they told us kids, all four of us, that you had to be 18 years of age to eat pecan pie. We believed them, and I would be 18 the first time I tasted pecan pie. It is my favorite today, but I can't believe my parents coveted it! Or that I believed them. We still laugh about that to this day."
So, enjoy your pecans this month, but please don't tell your children they can't eat pecan pie until they are adults. They might believe you!"
