- @compunaut The article says Lake Charles to Gulfport. Probably as far north as Jackson.
  
  I have a hook up. And I’m sure some enterprising disintermediator will help supply meet demand.

- The lineup of flavors will be the same, with apple, lemon, peach, pineapple, chocolate and coconut prepared year round. As before, seasonal flavors will join the roster for limited runs, including blueberry, blackberry, cherry and sweet potato.
  
  Weird. I remember banana distinctly as a kid. Maybe I mis-remembered or they discontinued that flavor long ago back in the 19th Century.

I wonder if these are like Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies, which I sampled when we were in Ardmore, OK. The Dr. Pepper Fried Pie sounds much better than it was, sadly.

  Spinach? Yuck!
  
  Those are probably more like Latino/Spanish Empanadas, “Nachitoches Meat Pies”, the Northern Midwest’s “Cornish Pasty”, or Italian Calzones. It seems every culture has a version.
  
  Hubig’s are specifically the “Southern Fried Fruit Hand Pies” kind of pie with a fruit or sweet pudding filling, surrounded by crust, deep fried, sized so that you can hold it in your hand and is optionally glazed like a donut. Hubig’s are glazed.
