      I just watched the TV episode where he made the cajun dressing with rice. I'm looking for the recipe. Didn't y'all upload that segment? Along with the segment with the stuffed turkey legs? I noticed that in both - it was said that "celery salt" was used. Really? I'm sure you know the difference between celery salt and celery SEED. I never use celery salt, ONLY celery seed. I add my own salt.

I know of a place in a town called Trujillo Alto, that they roast an average of 60 whole pigs per weekend!!!

    Most of the south is about family, community and food. Pretty much in that order. The closer you get to the city, the priorities get jumbled, but I've found that the rural midwest and rural cajun people might eat different food, but have one thing in common. They're respectful! If you're nice to them, they'll try to out nice you, but if you get crazy on them, they *_WILL_* out crazy you!

    Good dirty rice is hard to find outside of Louisiana. I have a real issue with dirty rice not using chicken gizzards, as a lot of folks tend to use in middle TN. That's not "dirty rice" to me. Locally we had a Cajun restaurant open in my town and my wife and I went: nope, it was a zero. Boo. They used some kind of processed sliced linked sausage in their "dirty rice", it was actually gross. Six months later it was closed. So good to see folks here carrying on a tradition with authentic ingredients.

    The cajun boudin is definitely completely different from the French boudin which is a blood sausage along with pork fat, oignons, sometimes walnuts. It is made just as the pig is being slaughtered and it is the boiled and left to cool down. Then it's generally fried / sautéed. These cooking of "cochon de lait" that is far older than a suckling piglet as explained, reminds me of the "cochoui" we have in France for some celebrations, originally mechoui (from Northern Africa) made from a whole sheep.
    Very nice video, thanks for sharing.

    • @justMariL
      @justMariL Před rokem +2

      We still make boudin with blood - boudin rouge. The boudin made on this show is boudin blanc.
      Several years back the commercial sale of pig blood (and therefore boudin rouge) was regulated by the government to a point where few places sell the blood or boudin rouge commercially. IF you can find pigs blood commercially it can be kind of expensive so it's typically served at smaller special events. I imagine these cooks didn't slaughter the pig themselves so no blood for boudin rouge.

Yes I know Emeril is from New England but being that I live in California it was really my first entry into that type of cooking (except for Disneyland where they have New Orleans Square and did have some Creole food). Over the years I have cooked a lot of gumbos, jambalaya, etouffee, etc. and even alligator and real turtle soup. I prefer a gumbo thickened with a roux (which I know is more Creole) but have used okra and file as well. We do have a couple or both styles of food near us here in Orange County, CA at least - but very hard to get crawfish here and when we do it is often from overseas (No thank you!) and if it is from Louisiana it can be well over $20 for a bag of tail meat.
