      @@thewisp7447 It was, but you know, in the 1970s, there were around 1 million French and Creole speakers in Louisiana. And we've been working on trying to revitalize our languages since long before the 2010s. It really started in the 1960s with the establishment of CODOFIL. But CODOFIL mainly focused on standardized international French until the 1980s when people started writing poetry and other literature in Louisiana French and promoting OUR variety of French. They also had people in the '80s and '90s at that time working on documenting Louisiana Creole, which was first documented in the late 1800s and appeared in some French language newspapers in Louisiana at the time. There still weren't really any efforts to promote the usage of Louisiana Creole until the early 2000s, though. That's when I started getting involved in the movements for both languages, Louisiana French and Louisiana Creole, after I graduated high school in 2004.

    Creole food is cosmopolitan food, created in New Orleans with African, European and Native American roots. The French influence is strongest, but vestiges of Italian, Spanish, German, and even Caribbean can be found in some dishes. The essence of Creole is found in rich sauces, local herbs, red ripe tomatoes, and the prominent use of seafood, caught in local waters. It is associated with the old-line kitchens of New Orleans, where generations of traditions are carried on today. Think of rich, roux-based gumbo, shrimp creole, grits and grillades, redfish courtbouillon and more

    It’s funny she said she would bring the old days back and I’m watching this like this was a good time within itself

    I just came back from Louisiana this past weekend, I was there celebrating our Grandmother's 100th birthday with my family. Coushatta, Louisiana is where my daddy's side of the family is from.

    im 38 so my "simpler times" was the 90s ... so to hear her talk about the 70s being too fast goes to show its all relative and every generation looks back at their youth as the golden era

      Yep, everyone thinks their times were "simpler". It's all just nostalgia for maybe better times in the past while also ignoring the problems from that era. I certainly do not want to live in 1970s america.

      I-10 had only been around for 13 years by this point. Her youth was vastly different as a result.
      Doctors made house calls and collected cash money for payment. They were using industrial equipment to process meat in their kitchen.
      The highway changed all that; outsiders came in and started forcing a different way of business. Business interests lobbied cities to make raising chicken or hogs a crime.
      People often used to drink their water from wells or cisterns. They put people on treated city water around this time. If she died in 2001 and was 55 in the video that means she lived to be 86.
