FOOD, FOOD, FOOD
Just as music and religion are an integral part of
Acadian life, so is food. Acadian, or Cajun cooking if you wish to
call it, is very much a way of life for Acadians. Although many
consider this type of cooking very spicy, it need not be. Only cooks
without the true feel for Acadian cooking over spice their endeavors in a
effort to duplicate or authenticate Acadian cooking. In this
celebration very authentic Acadian cooking took place to be enjoyed by those
who attended. The fare consisted of Crawfish Etoufee, fried alligator
fritters, fried catfish fillet (small bite size), pork jambalaya, pot
roasted stuffed brisket and many types of desert. All this plus plenty
of fresh vegetable salad. None were in the sweat producing category,
only delicious. Our thanks to the many who labored so long and hard so
that we could all enjoy a memorable feast. Shown below are some of the
cakes emblazoned by family crests, brought and sponsored by different
families.

This space reserved for other pictures hopefully submitted by family members
who had the opportunity to take pictures of the different food tables, food
preparation, etc. Yours truly was too busy in the kitchen to take
sufficient photos of the food being served. So if you have a good
clear picture you would be willing to share, please send me a copy. I
will scan it and use it if possible. Thank You.
