OMG! I grew up in Baton Rouge but have lived in New England for the last 40 years. 
I was telling my husband about the great food at Picadilly restaurant in BR and asked 
chat GPT is any recipes exist and was so surprised to be lead to your web site. 
Even more surprised to see that they are still operating 3 stores in BR and other 
southern locations. I just wouldn’t think it’s the same! 

Regardless, I am looking for a recipe for a pie they had but don’t see on your site. 
It was a white meringue like (but not fluffy or too eggy) texture with chopped pecans, 
similar to divinity candy. I think it may have been on a pastry pie crust. 
It was my favorite! 

Thanks for saving these great recipes and memories from the south! 
Good luck trying to find this one.

Hi Diana,

This sounds like "Piccadilly's Pecan Delight," for which I have the recipe posted at: 2-27-2003

BTW, I grew up in Mississippi and I've lived in Maine for the last 15 years.
