    • 1992 March 15, Frances Frank Marcus, “A Sweet Pleasure From New Orleans: The Praline”, in The New York Times‎[1], →ISSN:
      A typical praline is roundish, about three inches in diameter and a half-inch thick. The taste is faintly regressive, reminiscent of the pleasure to be found in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when one is ravenously hungry.
