Cheers from your up north brethren!
Acadians? You do know the history. When the British seized control of Canada, they offered all French people to remain if they just pledged allegiance to Britain. The smart ones just lied ang got to stay, the proud ones returned to France and the not-so-bright ones moved to French Louisiana. There was little room for them in New Orleans so they moved out into the swamps where they remain to this day.
But being French, they sure can cook, including shit sensible people don't dare to eat. I could cook tree roots and leaves and make it into the best gumbo you've ever had. Hint: File Gumbo.
Interesting history!
Filé powder, also known as gumbo filé, is an herbal powder made from the dried and ground leaves of the sassafras tree (Sassafras albidum), native to eastern North America. The roots and bark of this same plant were the original base for root beer.
Other's are hiding out in the most northern parts of northern Ontario and Quebec, and they can cook too:)
Cooking, drinking, smoking, and playing cards.
Good tunes too - yes, they live well indeed.
In Louisiana, as a kid, my family would play a card game called Boore (Booray).
the not-so-bright ones moved to French Louisiana.
Cool history lesson. But weren't they the 'bright' ones since they decided to move to the US?
I'm from the swamps of Louisiana. Hated it. I'd rather have lived in Canada or France (back then, not today).
On the brighter side, we did have great food, very great music - and Mardi Gras.
