In Louisiana, we get creative with food. Here are 11 amazing combinations that make up some of the most delicious treats in the state!
- Gumbo and Potato Salad
Facebook.com While a lot of people only eat their gumbo with rice, there’s a whole other camp that says potato salad is the best base for the stew.
- Oysters & Cheese
Flickr.com While some say that cheese and seafood is blasphemy, in Louisiana we know that oysters topped with parmesan cheese, herbs, and butter is nothing short of sublime.
- Turducken
Flickr.com Although it’s not as if turkey, chicken, and duck don’t go together, this Cajun specialty really takes the combination to a new level.
- Bread Pudding
Flickr Not exactly pudding and not exactly bread, it’s all delicious.
- Red Funnel Cake w/ Cream Cheese
GreatAmericanCountry.com While powdered sugar comes standard, red funnel cake with cream cheese is a whole other level.
- Deep Fried Rice & Sugar
Wikicommons Called Calas, these deep fried rice balls make for something closer to a beignet than a favorite chinese dish.
- Milk Punch
Facebook.com A Christmas staple especially in New Orleans, when you mix bourbon and milk—something delicious is in store.
- Turtles & Sherry
