  • These are the TOP foods you have to try when you're in New Orleans, so of course we had to see what Alessio thinks about them. Come along with us for some fried alligator, gumbo, red beans and rice, jambalaya, crawfish étouffée, pastalaya and boiled crawfish. Did we miss any of the must-try foods??

    I am sitting here my house in the French Quarter of New Orleans deciding what to have for dinner. I was going to make life easy and do a grilled cheese sandwich and French fries, but Alessio has inspired me to get out of my recliner and hit one of the many restaurants in my neighborhood!

      I know this should've been completely obvious to me but only recently realized how "10 of the 10" and other such phrases used by non-native English speakers are simply a result of them making literal translations of phrases from their mother tongue.

      @@highjinx6519But hush puppies were made by Slaves. Before the civil war. They were given to dogs by the runaway slaves. When the slaves would be hunted down by the slave owners and slave catchers, they would bring blood hounds to help them find the slaves. So the slaves would throw the “fried cornbread to the dogs.” So yes the confederate soldiers may have used the same method. But the originality of the story came from runaway slaves.

    People say chicken because the texture is a lot like chicken. It does have a bit of a fishy flavor but the fishiness is very mild and you kinda don't taste it after a minute.
    The pastalyah is a new thing, most people from here don't really eat it.
    I could tell he's a crawfish professional when he ate the claw on the big one. Sometimes if the tail meat is a little stuck you can pinch the very end of the tail slightly to free it.

    Yes, privileged to spend a lot of time in N'awlins, 91-93. My partner waa a surgical resident at Tulane.
    Really fascinating but a mixed bag. The food was incredible: black ham at Bluebird for breakfast. Transcendent gumbo and brilliant seafood generally but did not appreciate the grasshoppers with hot sauce.
    Brennan's was the best of old school; Paul Prudhomme made you sit with strangers and pay with Amex but it was worth it.
    Cops started out at 14K per year in 91 $. So the police force would be utterly corrupt. Tulane, a top 20 school, paid my baby $24K for the first year of her surgical residency. There was a lot of poverty and crime. But a lot of style. Anne Rice. Senior faculty endlessly renovating mansions in the Quarter. Economic dynamics of the late Austrio-Hungarian empire with better food and music.

    The original "hush puppies" were balls of corn meal, that runaway slaves would carry with them. Some to eat but they were also thrown out to distract dogs that may have been getting too close. And since baying hounds were the preferred tracking dogs, the balls of corn meal hushed them puppies right up :-)

    I purchased some Etimio, and it's EXCELLENT, but I forgot to use the discount! I will next time.
