Holy Moley! Great idea boss!!!
 
I just had a strange thought (happens all the time)
 
I think this territory might be home to the most indecisive cooks of all. 
 
with all due respect...(I LOVE the cuisine and the people and the heritage, etc...)
 
Here's my evidence. Here, and elsewhere, I've seen comments similar to:
 
"That Roux isn't dark enough!!"
 
"That Roux is too dark"
"That needs a roux!"
"Where's the okra?"
 
"Why does that have okra?"
 
"Gumbo has okra dammit!!"
 
"What the hell are you doing putting okra in Gumbo?"
"That's not gumbo, that's jambalaya!!"
 
"That's not Jambalaya, that's just thick Gumbo with okra and File!"
 
"That's Cajun, not creole!"
 
"That's creole, not Cajun!"
 
"Nick Saban is a GOD"
"F Nick Saban!"
 
"Po' boys need oysters!"
 
"Real Po' boys need roast beef!"
 
Crawdads: Suck the heads!
Crawdads: gross. Just eat the tail. 
 
I just can't keep up! All I know, give me a plate of whatever, and I'll eat the heck out of it!!

I'm feeling like a good sturdy gumbo will be on the menu in the next couple weeks. :cool:
 
That's not that strange to me SL, brand names become universal product names all the time... Kleenex, Super Glue, Jacuzzi, Crock Pot, ChapStick, Q-Tip, Scotch Tape, Band-Aid, Xerox, Post-It, Styrofoam, Google (search any engine), Coke!
 
Coke just happens to be regional so it's strange to you.
 
However you do win strangest post hijack of 2014! This is about Cajun cooking! :lol:

SODA or POP is the only thing that seems to have this querky thing where you can order a coke and the waitress will ask "what flavor" :crazy:

BACK TO GUMBO!!!!
 
FD's post was about Cajun food lol.
 
Yours is... out there!!!!!!!!!
 
TB, she deserves the doo doo crown now!!! Let's get back to Cajun/Creole cooking.
(Feel free to DPSE tomorrow lol)
 
FD's post is about inconsistencies with southern foods and their cookings and ordering a "coke" and wanting a 7-Up just seemed to fit the :crazy:... :shrug: 
 
 
Back to cussin-creole!

Huh? What? I'm guessing that's a northern thing as I'm yet to hear that down here.
 
It is not Northern. It is not Southern from where I have been either. How are we on Coke? :crazy:
 
Which is NOT Cajun. If this keeps going splitting to Fun Zone lol.
 
And warning point for salsalady.

Wait, even better:

Saran Wrap, Cling Wrap, Plastic wrap, cling film.....I always say Saran Wrap.
 
Manwich ...Sloppy Joe's..etc. 
 
Then there's the whole US/UK thing - chips/crisps, cookies/biscuits, etc..

Living both up north and down south - North was always 'pop' or 'soda', South was always 'Coke' or the occasional 'soft drink'. I prefer 'Fizzy Lifting Drink!'

Growing up many years during my youth in Louisiana...not even gonna' begin to touch on the gumbo/okra/file'/roux/po boy's etc.. Once heard some guys get at each other over 'crawdads vs. crayfish'....I say MUDBUGS!  ;) ..j/k
 
SEE!!!  Alchymystic Gets It!   I'm not making that up!
 
 
as long as it's in the refer to get cold~~~~
 
:razz:
 
Growing up here in Texas we called everything Coke but some of the old school say "Soda water". It was weird for me to hear it called "pop" when I went up north.
