Oh, man! Don't get me started...
...chicken & sausage gumbo
...crawfish etoufee (the best made by my ex-wife's Cajun aunt; and, yes, my ex-wife was a Cajun, too)
...boiled crawfish
...red beans & rice, New Orleans style (though Popeye's makes an okay substitute)
...seafood jambalaya
Since I moved over a thousand miles away, 15 years ago, from where where I grew up (i.e. south Louisiana), I hardly ever get any Cajun/Creole food; and when I do, it usually isn't done right. (I once ate in a self-proclaimed Cajun restaurant, here up north, that served crawfish etoufee on "dirty" rice. WTF? But even on plain white rice, it wouldn't have been all that great.) My 2nd wife has tried cooking some for me, but she just can't get it right; and furthermore, she finds it more labor intensive than she thinks it's worth. And me, I have no knack for cooking.
