I.e. Boudin, cracklins... they used to be so cheap... now go try to buy some pork belly meat.. went to a place in lafayette that made some pork belly sliders and theyre charging like 15$ for 3 small pieces of this stuff. Theres a bunch of other dishes out there in restaurants but boudin and cracklins always come to mind because they are highly overpriced now that its part of tourism.


I got lost in my rant, but yes cooking is enjoyable for me, reminds me of the old days when the old people were still living and everyone was speaking french when I cook my old Cajun family recipes.
