Helen described "South Louisiana" coffee:
<<< I grew up in Metarie, just two blocks away from New Orleans Parish.
Cafe Du Monde has a hot chocolate that will spoil you for ANY of the
boxed stuff. Rich, creamy and chocolatey, we are talking Serious Hot
Chocolate, here. >>>
ohhhh. Sounds wonderful.
<<< Just imagine, if you will...hot, fresh fried beignets, covered in
powdered sugar, and hot, rich, wonderful chocolate. What else do you
need on a cold January evening, right after watching the Sugar Bowl? >>>
Ah, something exciting and wonderful, after something boring and
dull. :-)
<<< I think South Louisiana is where I learned to Not Drink the
Coffee-unless you like the thought of not sleeping for the next three
days! <LOL> >>>.
Sounds like something useful for Pennsic! or Gulf Wars. Are you
going to the upcoming Gulf Wars? My barony camps next to the Barony
of Axe Mor, the group from New Orleans. It would be nice to meet you
or some of the other folks from there. Perhaps even try some of this
coffee. I've had regular coffee three times in my life and I thought
all of it was rather bland and thin and diluted. I did try a Coffee
Latte(?) for the first time two years ago at one of the Pennsic
coffee houses and several times at a coffee house here in Austin
where a friend sings. *That* I like. Coffee but with chocolate and
some whipped cream.
Gulf War I or II, some group from Louisiana or at least Meridies
brought crawfish and had a crawfish boil. This was the first time I
had more than one or two. What I ate would have probably cost a
small fortune at a restaurant. :-) It was wonderful! I have seen
crawfish start to show up in my local grocery stores at what sound
like reasonable prices. Until you realize you throw more than half of
the crawfish away. I think I've seen frozen crawfish tail meat too,
but I don't remember the price on that.
