Butter pecan

Butter pecan is a flavor, prominent especially in the southern United States, in ice cream, cakes, and cookies. The flavor is an element of soul food, the cuisine of Black Americans. Some speculate that its association with Black American culture is due to the period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Black Americans were forbidden from eating vanilla ice cream every day of the year except the Fourth of July.^[1][2][3]
