Meet Odelia The Praline Lady – Her Tag Reads: The people of old New Orleans were delighted to see this lady walking down the street selling her pralines (prah-leens). She made this savory candy herself using sugars, syrups, and tasty pecans. She added other ingredients to very the flavor and color. Those same recipes are still handmade and sold in New Orleans today – M-M-M-GOOD! ~C.V. Gambina, Inc. 1981.
