The Culinary Tour: a Gem in the Realm of Vacations
If you’re an avid traveller, you’re likely to have taken all the ‘usual’ vacations – from beach breaks and mountain retreats to spa getaways. And if you don’t get the opportunity to travel much, you’ll undoubtedly want your trips to be extraordinary and well-worth your time. The reality is that while there are countless types of fulfilling recreational pursuits out there, travellers are always looking for new and interesting ways to spend their vacations. After all, everyone wants to come away with a holiday experience that’s not only unique, but unforgettable.
A gem in the realm of vacations has long been the culinary tour. Yet this type of getaway has kept a perpetual sense of novelty, quite simply because there are so many ways to relish it. When you go to a beach, you can expect sun, sand and waves; but when you take a tour reflecting all the cultural and culinary influences upon the cuisine of a region, you might come away with much more than you bargained for. Simply put, if you love travelling, enjoy trying new things and can’t get your fill of good food, a culinary tour is the perfect type of vacation for you.
No matter where you go these days, there’s something delicious to eat. But there are certainly parts of the US which boast a rich culinary history. One of these is undoubtedly New Orleans, Louisiana. Sure, New Orleans is famous for its Mardi Gras celebration and Jazz Fest; but the city, known as “The Big Easy,” is also world-renowned for its culinary customs. New Orleans is noted for its mix of cultures, each of which has held on to its past traditions in some way – and food, like music, just happens to be one of the most prominent of these traditions.
Tour the city’s most famous kitchens and dining rooms – particularly in the French quarter and along Bourbon Street – and learn about the many ethnic influences that have helped shape its history and unique cuisine. Pick up on the culinary contributions of historic restaurants in the area, dating from 1840 to present, and learn the distinctions between Creole and Cajun foods! No matter how you go about it, you can’t go wrong with a culinary tour in New Orleans.
Alternatively, why not combine a culinary tour with a wine-tasting excursion? Napa Valley, California is undoubtedly the ideal destination if this idea strikes your fancy. Napa Valley is the American capital of food and wine, and a region which attracts countless visitors from around the world each year. By touring a winery, you can come to appreciate the various processes involved in producing an exquisite wine – from harvesting and fermentation to ageing. And aside from all the fantastic culinary treasures and premium wines, you can expect stunning, picturesque scenery. Whether you’re a novice or an accomplished wine connoisseur, a wine and culinary tour in Napa Valley is guaranteed to delight you. Moreover, Napa Valley is just 30 miles north of San Francisco, so you could easily make your way down to try the culinary treats of the “Golden Gate City” – which includes those in America’s largest Chinatown.
If you’re considering a culinary tour, rest assured that you’ll find a number of fantastic options for accommodation – regardless of whether you’re off to the east coast, west coast or deep south. A culinary tour is truly one of the best ways to become acquainted with a city’s culture and unique character – so why not book a culinary tour today and prepare to have your taste buds dazzled!

What kind of drink with a Cajun dinner? (Alcohol!)?
We’re having a Cajun themed cook out and we can’t figure out what kind of alcohol to have with it. Mixed or shots or whatever, what goes?!
these people only drink beer, so any american bottled beer would be OK.
The way the beer is served is they get a big insulated plastic box called a "cool box". Then they fill this with crushed ice and place the beer in the ice. They have a "thing" about warm beer, they can only drink cold beer for some reason. -and they always wrap something round the bottle so their hands don’t get wet.
Does anyone have a good recipe for cajun pork chops?

Any Good Cajun Sauce Recipes?
Alright here’s my dilemma. I’m in need of a decent Cajun sauce recipe of some kind. NOTHING COMPLICATED OR OUTRAGEOUS. I’m not sure how many of you have ever had (or even heard of) a Cajun wrap from the Cookout fast food restaurants. Doesn’t matter I don’t suppose. Anyways, it’s just a chicken strip wrapped in a tortilla with lettuce, cheese, and their Cajun sauce. It’s delicious. I got a couple friends who work there, and they all tell me that their Cajun wrap’s sauce consist of their Cajun spice (which they put on fries and other things; it’s some kind of Cajun "dust") and Texaspete.. and thats it.
I’d like to try this at home, though, but I don’t have a clue what I could make my own Cajun sauce out of. Any suggestions would be great!
Here are a couple ideas:

I would sprinkle my chicken with this spice before cooking. I think this is what you’re looking for.
Hope this helps!

Creole, griffe, quadroon, mulatto, or other? Whats my heritage?
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.

Post-BP Oil Spill Rally at the Cajun Dome in Louisiana – Is the Seafood Really Safe to Eat?
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.
