    I’m Creole. I’m from the swamp

    Y’all have a rich culinary tradition that is world-renowned for its ability to pull amazing flavors out of everything, including the trees! I’m not at all surprised that the Creole rendition of this breakfast dish was top shelf.

    I eat spicy-hot boiled hard-shell roaches, and raw mud-snot still in their teetees for flavor, and alligator assholes and rice in pig guts.

    If you told me that said dishes were the real deal, prepared in a traditional manner, I’d tell you right then and there that I’ll be having seconds. Hell, I’d beg for cooking lessons.

      Hard shelled roaches is crayfish. I think mud snot still in the tees tees is oysters.

      I think.

      Both are delicious, properly served. I just ate a half dozen raw oysters.

      No way I hell am I making some dishes but as you said, if someone prepares for me one that I’d normally be turned off from, I’ll enthusiastically join in (though I probably will wait for them to take the first bite)
