I know chicken feet get used in Creole cooking in soup-stock sometimes; and I've *had* duck feet-- they were actually pretty good, but kind of tough and chewy.
If you see smoked mullet anywhere, snag some and try it; best smoked fish on the PLANET. Boudin's also tasty (it's a kind of sausage you find around there.)
Haha, I just naturally think about pronunciations of French words (lol French major and Louisiana native). It's said either boo-dahn or boo-dan (I'm used to the latter, really), and yeah. Anyone who doesn't know it would read it boudin. Those pesky -in sounds in French, they're the reason people say Chop-in rather than Choh-pan for Chopin |D
**grin** I grew up with schoolmates with names like Thibidoux, Heubert, Matthieu, Garnier and Boisseux (and my grandmama was a DeJarnet from Quebec), so I know what you mean. My friend Heubert didn't mind being called 'Hugh', but if you said his entire first name you had to pronounce it 'EEEY-beyr' or else.
Hahaha, this is one of those moments when you realize these names might seem weird to other people but to me, they're perfectly normal. lolol I knew a LeJeune which was pronounced Luh-Jern. |D No idea why the random R sound! I think it's the Cajun influence. Dialect of a dialect of Canadian French which was a dialect of French, after all.

Best yet, that's the local ALBERTSON'S. Not some exotic store.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
Like I've said before: Great food down here. Just don't ask what's in it.
