They are delicious and addictive, and loaded with fat, of course. <br /><br />I was born to an English mom and was forced to eat bland food for thirteen long years until we moved to Louisiana and I got introduced to Cajun food. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Crawfish - boiled, in bisque, and any other way it'd made, red beans and rice, tasso.... I think the Cajuns must be the best cooks of all because they can take the most unlikely materials and make food for the gods from it. Alligator sauce piquant is another good example.Marilyn Kircushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014565704792020948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-29463086521053221702011-05-04T21:14:06.982-05:002011-05-04T21:14:06.982-05:00Hey Judy.. let me know where in the U.P. you are p...Hey Judy.. let me know where in the U.P. you are planning on going?

I have eaten cracklin's, way back in my childhood Alabama days. But, I am not a fried pork skin fan, nor a fried chicken skin fan. However, I love boudin! It would be impossible for me to wring a bird neck, but I do remember my Mother wringing chicken necks.
