They got this thing called etouffee, sounds like somethin’ you’d cough up, but I’m told it’s real tasty. And they got different kinds, too. You pick one of them etouffees, then you pick a fried meat to go with it. They got crawfish, shrimp, chicken, even gator! Now, I ain’t never had gator, but I reckon it tastes like chicken, right?
And they got other fried stuff, too. Catfish, frog legs. Lord have mercy, frog legs! My Uncle Jeb used to catch those things down by the creek. They also got fried clams, fried oysters. All that fried food, it ain’t good for ya, but it sure does taste good.
