  That’s a no for me. Although I do make a version of jambalaya with no seafood and extra spicy. I love the heat and the seasonings but I’ll pass on crawfish, shrimp and anything else that filters shit as a food source.

  Out of all the dishes you mentioned, only Gumbo is a uniquely USA dish.

  Jambalaya is an African recipe with an ingredient change to match what was available.

  Mudbugs are eaten everywhere where they are present, and I personally think that Polis Zupa Rakowa is the best usage of that ingredient. If were talking about the mudbug boil, every cousine I know of that has access to them have similar recipe.

  Blackened redfish is uhhh… Hot pan with spices to pretend its grilled (ingenious, but not a unique dish foodrepublic.com/…/origin-why-redfish-banned/)

  Crawfish etouffee - huh, I think its also like a prooer unique dish. The cooking method and igredients seem to be unique enough that its visibly distinct from any other similar dish.

  Courtbullion on the other hand is too similar to French one that I would call it a variation of it, instead of an unique invention

  (Does that make sense? I’m not trying to diminish other foods but to showcase how unique Gumbo and etouffe are)

    Uhhh. What else is there to do In NOLA? You absolutely have to go if you’ve never been. Just take Ubers and reasearch where you go stay. There is soooo much to do! It’s literally the funnest place to be, even if you hate Mardi Gras or the French Quarter. There is just all kind of stuff to do. Art, crab fishing, deep sea fishing, see alligators, voodoo shops, more drinking and partying than anywhere else, giant aquarium, Decandence and Pride parades for lgbt, naked bike rides, giant parades for St Patrick’s day, voodoo fest with lots of bands, Jazz fest, festivals and parades for random shit if they run out of excuses, daiquiris beers and hello shots available in drive thru, vampire balls, vampire bars, PRI football games, pro basketball games, cemetery tours, ferry to cute East bank or whatever, French market in quarter, walk around French quarter and party, take railcar to Irish are and party, go to beach 25 min away, etc.

    Ha ha. Holy shit, what is there to do in NOLA?

    When I think of New Orleans I think of Mardi Gras where I can flash my tiddies and earn colorful shiny strings of beads. But imagine my surprise when I realized I could buy colorful shiny beads at the Dollar Tree and not even have to travel to Louisiana and expose myself.

    They told you all the best stuff honestly. If you’re into alcohol you’ll have no trouble finding it. Amazing city though. The food culture there is incredible.
