I’ve been wondering this for quite sometime. My family was raised in Louisiana and I was even born in central Louisana but I am stilled confused exactly what I am classified. My mom’s family is creole by heritage and blood- her grandparents immigrants her mother and aunts spoke fluent subgroups of french up until the start of elementary. Although it is now lost on my generation. Her mom was mixed her mother a frenchwoman and her father some caribean. Although her father is mulatto by mom and black by his father. So my mom is a mixture of mulatto and creole I believe although they have something else to living close to the reservations they believe their is a mixture of indian blood somewhere along the line.

My father’s family is mestizo I think- he is half native american his mother of the reservation and his dad hispanic and black. He lived in hat part where they constantly married people of the same heritage so it was frowned upon when I was born because He and my mom were not the same nationality. His family is classified as strictly cajun and native american and look on creole’s as overly black.

I haven’t lived in Louisana for some years so Its still a bit murky to me. Unfortunately I have no idea what to classify myself though. My family is more drawn to Creole culture although we are raised by the standards of central Louisana rather than the south- not much for voodoo and french speaking. Excluding the community where my father lived I don’t think there are many french speaking people living in that parish although they still cook creole food like etouffe, red beans and rice, and sauce picante.

Physically I am red bone, I have very thick curly hair it falls in semi-tight little ringlets and is black- I have brown eyes although my sister has hazel and my father has green eyes. My body shape is thick which seems heriditary for all my sisters on my dad’s side have hour glass shape. I’m short 5’3 although my mother is 5’11 and she is concidered one of the shordest women on my mom’s side. My dad’s dainty though only near 5’8 or so and my sisters though grown are all barely at 5’0 even.

I hope someone can decipher this and I hope I didn’t drag on to long.

I would not bother.
Maybe you belong to the Human race.

Many people have different interpretation about what goes on in South Louisiana. Some people think that our backyards are surrounded by swamps filled with snakes and alligators. While others assume that the only food we eat is gumbo, jambalaya, and seafood. But the locals on the other hand immediately think about Mardi Gras and the festivals. However, looking at the commercials and advertisements from our area it is clear that people enjoy South Louisiana. These advertisements inform us that people love Louisiana music, food, and style of dance.
Randol’s Restaurant focuses more on its music than its food in its advertisements. The restaurant’s logo is a crab playing a small guitar. The guitar suggests that the music playing is Cajun and the crab represents Louisiana implying that the only music you will hear is Cajun and the only place you can hear it is in Louisiana. Furthermore, newspaper and Yellow Book Acadian advertisements show couples doing the Mamou Jitterbug or the 8-ct two-step. It seems strange to me that a restaurant would focus on its music instead of its food because the customers are paying for the food served, not the dancing. However the advertisements suggest the reverse that people are willing to come to Randol’s for the music and dancing and not the food
Advertisements for the local restaurant Buffet City emphasize that the food it serves is fresh and the best in Acadian. Newspapers and the Yellow Book ads for Buffet City all feature a truck in front of a restaurant, or a man on a boat fishing. The truck in front of the restaurant suggests that Buffet City’s produce, seafood, etc. are fresh and that it is serving fresh food to their customers. Also, the ads tell us that everything that Buffet City prepares is fresh and
uses the best ingredients available. The man fishing in the boat suggests that Buffet City catches its own fish and raises its own crawfish. The ads also suggest that Buffet City is the best in Acadian, since it was named the number one restaurant in Acadian.
The advertisements for Petar’s Restaurant, emphasize dancing not the food nor the music. Newspapers and the Yellow Book Acadian ads feature an image of a dance floor with locals dancing and sitting at the bar. The dance floor suggest that the restaurant is trying to get more young people involved. The other aspect is that it promotes the happiness people feel at the restaurant; people are having a great time. It seems outrageous that a restaurant would have a dance floor. The dance floor provides a great and appealing image to the people because not many restaurants have dance floors.
Many people have different ideas about what we do in South Louisiana. Despite the different ideas people still love coming to here. The food, music, and dance provide the most entertainment to the locals. But the quality has decrease over the years but locals still expect the best and deserve the best for their money.

This recipe comes from my mother-in-law Flo.  It is the most requested dish at our family get-togethers.  She is the queen of this dish.  It is rich and delicious. With the Holidays coming up and wanting to use some Louisiana products, I thought this as an appropriate beginning. The seasoning is locally made and available worldwide. The shrimp were bought locally.

1 can Cream of Shrimp Soup
2 pkg. Unflavored Gelatin
¼ c. Cold Water
2 – 8 oz. Cream Cheese (room temperature)
½ c. Celery (finely chopped)
½ c. Onion (finely chopped)
½ c. Green Onion (finely chopped)
½ c. Parsley (finely chopped)
1 c. REAL Mayonnaise
2 lbs. Shrimp or Crawfish (coarsely chopped)
1 tsp. Southern B-B-Q Seasoning Mix
½ tsp. Sugar

Heat soup in a 3 qt. Sauce pan (DO NOT let it boil, just simmer slowly).  Dissolve gelatin in water.

Add gelatin and the next 6 ingredients to soup.

When the cream cheese has melted add the shrimp or crawfish, the Southern  Seasoning and sugar.

Pour into a well greased mold (use mayonnaise to grease) and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight is better.

Serve on platter with Ritz Crackers or some other really rich cracker.

Is the seafood safe to eat after the biggest oil contamination in US history has been mixed into the Gulf of Mexico and is now invisible to the naked eye. Would you serve it to your children? What about at a rally against the temporary ban on new Deepwater Drilling at the Cajundome in the heart of Cajun Lafayette Louisiana where traditional Cajun cuisine usually is pungent with the flavor of seafood and fishing is part of the state motto.
