AAHHYeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I knew that I was missing something yesterday - darn car travel!
Al & DCG - There is nothing better than sitting at the bar at Desire in the Sonesta eating a dozen raw with horsey sauce and your scalp is sweating while washing it down with some Abita!

Thanks for the recipe but I could kill for some good french bread to sop it up with!

Elbert - My Godmother was from Golden Meadow (south of NOLA) and I do recall the old cajuns refer to it as low country but it is associtated with South Carolina.

Spdyder, don't remember that beer. Getting old I guess.
Carb, I could eat 2 or 3 dozen raw: no other oyster even comes close to a Gulf oyster. Dad and I used to buy them by the toad sack right off the boat in Grand Isle.
Why can't we find real French bread anywere else, not even in France!
Carb, I went HS in Raceland and college in Thibodaux. Used to play Golden Meadaw in football.
Hey Elbert, all the country is "low country" in So LA. It's all swamp! We had to use the oyster shells (eat'em first) to build the roads so they wouldn't sink:)!

Remember it well.......if we tasted that stuff now we'd probably gag on it.......that was when we were young....at least me....and we didn't much care how it tasted......it was beer!

azbob.....oh the memories you're bringing back....oyster shells made great roads......crushed down real well......the French bakery on the Island has some very good French bread....stop their every other day when we're down. The French bread in New Orleans is very unique.....they say it's the water....nothing else quite like it. I can taste those roast beef po-boys now....dripping with gravy and mayo!

3 bucks a sack in the early 60's!!!! What are they today?

Hot sausage, dressed!!

Now all non-Cajuns the following is OK to say. It'ss really a term of indearment:
I do believe we have a lot of Coonass's on this board!!

Ah tink you right you

AAAAAAahhhhhheeee!! Mah cha... you don tell it like iahut is der... Coonasses fur sur!

And AL.... I've eaten my WEIGHT (and dem some) of roast beef po-boys slathered in mayo and swimmin in gravy............ crunchy outside, soft inside..... dayum.. makn' this gal howwwngray...
