| Oh crap, I relapsed last night
I couldn't resist. After weeks of terrible cravings I gave in to..... Veal Panne and Pasta with Red Sauce. I feel terrible about it today but it was so good, y'all. I ate the whole thing. Now back to those protein bars and tofu burgers. So much for higher powers and whatnot. |

Hey - you guys - what constitutes Louisiana food? Cajun? So lots of chillies? What other spices? Do you use garlic and ginger................... coriander, cumin............ Our favourite cuisine just has to be Indian and Pakistani. Cannae whack a good curry! What is Louisiana Purchase? Community coffee? Louisiana mixes???? |

The Cajun mixes are cayenne-based and most popular one is Tony Cachere's. Louisiana food and New Orleans food in particular is a blend of French, Cajun, African, Creole foods. New Orleans food is heavy on the butter. The Holy Trinity is onions, bell pepper, and celery---you can do just about anything with these three ingredients. Community Coffee is a New Orleans French Roast....nice and dark. New Orleans has a big Italian community, a fairly large Honduran community and a big Vietnamese community......these communities have "fused" their foods into our food culture too. Lots of good eats to be had around here. |

Woops, If you ventured to New Orleans and sampled the cuisine, you'd have thought you'd died and gone to heaven . . . There ain't no comparison to Indian and Pakistani food, for which I suffer regular cravings as well. Why, I think I'd take one day in hell just for Brennan's recipe for shrimp remoulade . . . ;-) Buzz |

Northbelle.....you'll start getting your appetite back in a big way. Feels great to be able to taste things again too. aasharon - Emeril is from New Jersey or whatever.....he learned in New Orleans at Commander's Palace which is now back open after a HUGE renovation. Paul Prudhomme cut his teeth in Commander's too. i remember going up to North Baton Rouge and going to the giant fish market/deli (what was it's name???) and killing my hangovers with fried boudin balls and fried catfish.....man that was good stuff. buzz-you are right about New Orleans....and that remoulade is amazing WA/NA - just kidding about the Pappadeaux chain. i'm sure it is marginally decent (LOL). Cachere's is a spice mix and not a restaurant. I've cut down on the butter too (I'm 42). there is a cookbook by Paul Prudhomme called Louisiana Light which is Cajun made a little lighter. good seafood recipes in there. Now, if you want a really good New Orleans cookbook in your library then order the Uglesich's cookbook online. Uglesich's in New Orleans is a hole in the wall with excellent food. It is Emeril's favorite restaurant. Very few people outside of New Orleans know that the Croatians of Louisiana have had a HUGE impact on food/cooking there. I highly recommend Uglesich's (for everything on the menu) and Drago's (for everything on the menu and especially the grilled oysters). I might relapse again tonight. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm grilled oysters. here is the Uglesich site... http://www.uglesichs.com/ |

I'm also quite partial to Indian cuisine, the best Indian restaurant I ever went to was the Maharajah near Hyde Park in London, their Chicken Tikka Masala was excellent. Sadly none of this food is heart healthy but that's always the case with delicious food.

To die for!!!!! And - not always unhealthy - those London curries are heavy on oil - but the real thing is often not - fabulous dry lamb dishes with okra and chickpeas................... Chicken Tikka Masala is a sort of British corruption of the real thing. Did you know that 2 Christmases ago - Chicken tikka masala was what most folk had for their Crimbo dinner? Turkey has long fled these shores............. | |

Yep - I guess most of us benefit from the other cultures from immigrant populations. We have had French and Italian, Indian & Pakistani, now we have lots of Polish people arriving on our shores and are enjoying wonderful paprika smoked meats etc. Fusion food is so exciting now? And your New Orlean Roast will be the equivalent of our Cafe Arabica? Black and strong!! Journey into space! | |

All comes down to personal preferences, I have to admit that most Indian curries prepared in the traditional way, I find to be too spicy so I prefer the westernised perversions of the original recipes. | |
