He don't know no better, wolfdog. Cut him some slack, you can't expect some poor yankee to know anything about good eating do you?

...yeah they do have them fish "boils" gonna go up to them nationals on day and offer some free southern cooking to all them poor yankees 🤣

Please don't do that. We'll have them yanks sneaking down here begging for more.

And if it don't have file` it aint gumbo

It's on the table help yourself when I make pot.

Egh.... File I over rated imo

… gumbo is good anytime…we made a big pot with leftover smoked chicken and sausage

… roux .. trinity… then a bunch of meat lol

Some "Yankees" that have lived down yonder know how to make excellent Etouffee. . . I prefer a mess of these vs shrimp, but have done both ways :-)

some nice looking crawfish:

That looks like coon bait.

You know there's no money in trapping coon so a guy has to eat something!

love me some crawfish etouffee . I remember once in Biloxi , the wife wanted beignets and coffee . So we toured around and found a place known for their beignets.
I noticed crawfish etouffee on the lunch menu and asked our waitress if it was too early for etouffee. She smiled and said " oh honey , it's never too early for etoufee"

Gumbo first then etoufee. Next day reverse it!!

Both equally

crawfish etouffee over fried redfish with a bowl of gumbo! Why choose one is my question!
