Are there any groceries, shelf stable or frozen, that you like to bring home after a trip to NOLA? Things like central grocery muffuletta salad or hubigs pies

My late brother-in-law, who lived right outside Atlanta would visit N.O. and stay with us and his go-to items to bring back to Ga. were:


CDM Coffee & Chicory
Andouille from Bailey's in Laplace
An ice chest of fresh shrimp
A muffeletta from Central Grocery
And as much of my homemade chicken/andouille/okra gumbo I'd let his scoop from my freezer.

You can mix and match a dozen Hubigs pies on their website for $60 shipping included. I had some sent to my friend in CA.

Napoleon House muff’s are better than central city

Every time I see Hubig's pies it reminds me of my late brother-in-law that lived outside Atlanta but grew up in Chalmette. For some reason he always called them "Hubbies".

He was crushed when Hubig's opened up after Katrina, only to burn to the ground and not open back up for years and once they did begin making pies again, he was shocked at the new price but managed to buy a dozen or so for his trip back home.

I eat a hubigs almost every day, it’s my junk food allowance. They are as good as they have always been. If you’ve not tried the sweet potato you should

OP camellia beans are shelf stable and highest quality for a local product

Not sure where home is but stop by a Rouses and get some best stop boudin if home is outside of Louisiana.

I always grab a few loaves of poboy bread depending on the day of the week. Leidenheimer or some of the Viet stuff.

Petit fours. Haydel's if you can.

I don't love the chick peas in the salad mix.

I think Parentons has the best muffaletta.

$5 for a Hubig? Not worth it

Well shipping is included so there's that. However, yes, $5 is not what they used to cost. I can't remember what they used to cost. Does anyone know?

Back in the mid 80’s, I would buy a Hubig chocolate pie at Time Saver for .69 cents. I believe they were priced $1.19 in the 2000’s pre- Katrina, current price at Rouses $2.69. They’ll be over $3 in a few more years.

I’m flying down Wednesday with a cooler full of salmon for my family.

It’ll be loaded with sausage on the way home.

I’ll also carry on some French bread for po boys.

I hope you're going to Acadiana for the sausage, and at least to Laplace for andouille

I'm old (73) and when a kid I can remember them costing $.25, and if I remember correctly, before Katrina hit, they were something like $1.25.

I haven't bought one since they went back into production, but I think they are now in the $2.50 range per pie.

I can go anywhere in LA and it’s a different world to what the Pac NW can offer.
