Natchitoches Meat Pie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of the official state foods (see List of U.S. state foods) of Louisiana, the Natchitoches meat pie is the best known regional delicacy of North Louisiana. Ingredients include ground beef, ground pork, onions, peppers, garlic, oil, and a pie shell. Natchitoches meat pies are often fried in peanut oil because of peanut oil's high smoking temperature. People with peanut allergies should check with a restaurant before ordering a Natchitoches meat pie. A number of restaurants in the historic district in Natchitoches serve meat pies. Frozen Natchitoches meat pies are available from grocers in North Louisiana. An annual Meat Pie Festival, held in September, celebrates the Natchitoches meat pie.
