Those Damn Hubig pies!!!

For those of you who have never had a Hubig's fruit filled fried pie, I feel sorry. Sure, they are probably one of the most unhealthful bakery items you can eat but damn are they tasty.

Hubig's Pies are a New Orleans' institution (not as famous as our beignets but equally loved). They have several bakeries around the local area including 2 blocks from my home. The smell of fresh baked Hubig's goodness permeates the neighborhood. The Hubig's mascot is a baker named Simon. His likeness has been used in everything from t-shirts to fine art. 

I bring this topic up because I noticed that my favorite flavor, blueberry, is now available. Hubig's only offers the blueberry a couple of times a year so when I see them, I become a Hubig's Pie Hoarder. I buy them in the grocery, I buy them in the corner store, I buy them anywhere I see them and hide them neatly away in my freezer.   Luckily they are available for very limited time.
