I looked up a recipe for it. Sounded good. Yesterday I had to stay home so... I made a loaf of sourdough bread, corned beef Reuben fritters and Cajun gravy. Left out the cayenne. I'll be having that again. Was good. Next time with the cayenne.
You never know what your posts will lead to. I won't be eating any tree fungus though.
Cajun food will heal a man!

Or maybe what don't kill you makes you stronger. The entire Cajun story is worth Googling. Exiled and with no home some German settlers kind of took them in. They literally ate whatever they could lay hands upon. The same idea you can eat anything with enough BBQ sauce (Cajun sourced spices and hot pepper) spawned what we know today as South Louisiana Cajun cooking. AhEeeeee!
I wish I could talk like they do. Do Huey sound like dat? I do like those really tan Creole ladies, and the way they dance.
No Cajun in my background...

I'm more from the Redneck-Stump Jumper division. But, have spent 35 years working in Cajun Country.
Just a little history...The word Cajun literally means "Uneducated Uderdog."
The term Coon Ass comes from the French word Connasse. Also an insult, but will let each Google that one.
However, neither is considered insulting today...
I went to Layafaette for conference

And I was too embarrassed to ask, what and who was this Coon Ass. So I set out to discover by process of elimination. I had some black dudes come up and warn me to keep an eye out for the wild coon asses in those parts. Check mark that one off. Then the little hard working bandy guys that smile as they talk, and I barely could understand them. They too say to "watch for crazy Coon ass".
I'm still at a bit of a loss but still watching our for "da Coon Asses". Everyone knows of them, but no one admits to being one. LOL

WB , my great grandfather immigrated to the US via New Orleans from Germany before the start of WW1. My paternal side of the family lived in New Orleans until my Father was in late stages of elementary school when they moved to central MS. My fathers side of the family has been called coon ass my many MS people but from what I understand you have to have a French background to be a true coon ass. So look for those sir names in your search!
I moved to the MS Gulf Coast and we have our on French background community in Biloxi. It weird because that town has its own accent from any other coastal town.
