I'm not allergic to pecans or any tree nuts but I have never been a fan
of pecan pie. It's too sickly sweet.

I adore ginger bread (allegedly 1942).

I noticed banana pudding showed up on that list circa 1955. That's
another thing in my years in the south I've never actually made. The
versions I tasted all involved Nabisco Vanilla wafers and boxed pudding mix.

I have no idea if it was the most popular dessert in 1955. It was
definitely still popular in Memphis in the 1980's in some of the little
southern diners. That and peach cobbler.
