I just returned from New Orleans. There is no other town like New Orleans. If you re into food then you re in heaven. Whenever I go there it makes me appreciate my southern heritage. Every time I taste a gumbo I remember my grandmother spending all day cooking and how happy we were to eat it.
Spring is also a great time to go.
The flowers are in bloom, the heat hasn t hit and the crawfish are in season. If you ve never had them, they look like little lobsters with a taste all their own. Everywhere we went there were different variations of the Creole and Cajun cuisine. Creole cooking, like the people, can trace their roots back to the original French settlers to Louisiana. The Cajuns are the French that first settled in Nova Scotia and were subsequently kicked out by the British in 1755.
