Here is a blog on one of my favorite topics, Louisiana food an culture. I have tended to focus on New Orleans, my home town. Louisiana Flava with the tag line, “At the end of the day in Cajun country still fulfilling a passion,” covers the area south and west of the city. I often went fishing there with my father in the 1950s. Roxie Broussand provides a beautiful blog with great photos.
I loved the post and pictures of figs. We used to have a large fig tree in our backyard. I would pick them and my mother ma fig preserves that I sold at a street stand in front of our house. I sold out in one day. Rexie provides some recipes along with several photos of the figs.
There is also a wonderful post and pictures on oysters and Dupuis Oyster Bar in Abbeville. It also includes photos of shrimp boats. We used to go down to the docks in NOLA and get fresh shrimp from the boats. I assume that you can still do this if the docks in NOLA survived Katrina. I know that much of the west end was blown away.
