Its still 40 or so days until kickoff against the Beavers so lets get ready by talking about food for tailgateing.
whenever i learn that i will soon be eating brisket, i get pretty excited. and i have said this before, but the best food in the whole world is crawfish pies. and not by a little either, crawfish pies are 124% better than their closest competitor.
Last weekend I made a couple of crawfish pies. Yummmm! If you have the River Road Cookbook try the crawfish pie recipe in it.
that reminds me, i was watching the national spelling bee a few years ago, and the word was "boudin". cant remember if the kid got it. i have also seen lagniappe, and they got that one.
I'm shocked Jambalaya's winning, I've had too many "weak" Jambalaya's at fundraisers that they've stretched so it's tastless yes boudin needs an honorary place. I'm for all of the above, Gumbo a close 2nd.
Jambalaya, for Heavens Sake! When you get tired of chicken and sausage jambalaya, try making a shrimp and ham jambalaya. I use tasso sometimes, for the ham. And when you get tired of that, there is a great recipe in the Vernon Roger book for Black-eyed pea jambalaya that is unusual and really tasty. Good stuff.
