What Is This?

It’s this food term I heard on the food channel and I can’t figure out what it is. It sounds like French term, and I heard it when the guy went to a Cajun restaurant. It sounded like he was saying Egg-too-fey. Or maybe a-too-fey. But I really don’t know what he was saying and I don’t know what it is. Can you guys help?

Invited freinds over for dinner…?

This is sort of a two parter question. My husband and I have invited a couple over for dinner friday night. They have two little girls, ages 2 and 3 I think. Our son is 5.

First question. Is it ok to ask the kids if they would like to eat before the grown ups so they can play after (while we eat and visit after) ? I don’t want to sound like we are leaving them out in any way.

Second question. Both my friend and I are almost 6 months pregnant. My husband wants to make cajun steak tips (very spicey) is this ok to serve? If not what are some foods that would be alright? ( If the cajun is ok for us to eat, I would still like to know what food ARE NOT good for pregnant woman to eat)

Thanks in advance.
No, I never ate anything spicey when I was pregnant with my son 5 years ago. I’m not crazy about spicey things til my husband made this dish. It’s awesome.

Peanut Butter and Bacon…What are some creative ways to incorporate these two ingredients into a recipe?

Now first off, I don’t wanna hear any LIP from all you Naysayers who might immediately think and say, “Peanut Butter…and BACON!!? EEEEEWWWWW!!!” If you’ve never tried these two together, you have no idea what you are missing. This is a great Southern tradition and even the master chef, Paul Pruhdomme, in his famous K-Paul’s Kitchen in New Orleans incorporates a peanut butter and bacon hor’dourve in his menu for private parties, so no, I’m not making this up or am I playing with food, thank you. Cajun cooks can appreciate what I’m talking about.

Now I have a family member who is an absolute junkie for bacon, even though it’s not the best for you, health wise. She alway prepaes bacon in the morning and there is usually some left over, so my typical habit is to incorporate it into a peanut butter and bacon sandwich, although I also add mayonaisse and onions which really brings out the flavors. Don’t knock it til you try it, Bubba! It is DEE-LISH!

But other recipe ideas?
Of course, I (and anyone else with internet) can just Google “peanut butter and bacon” and come up with recipes. But I prefer recipes that the person has actually tried and knows is a proven winner or a crowd pleaser.

I like Thai food with peanut butter, coconut milk and curry. I also like Italian Fettuccinni Carbonara with bacon in a cream sauce. But I’ve not found too many quick and easy recipes for peanut butter and bacon together besides a sandwich or something on a cracker.

I do a lot of cooking so ease of preparation is not my sole criteria. I prepare many elaborate meals too. I’m just looking for new ideas that bring out these two flavors that I might share with others and not be accused of making up some crazy dish that’s never been tested. So if the recipe has a name and a history, that adds to the credibility if I serve it to others. Get it?

How do you make your turkey (toppings-seasonings)?

i am looking for a new flavor for my turkey this year.
I ussually get about a 15 lb bird.
I am feeding about 6 people but we like to have ALOT leftover.
But i want to try a new flavor this year.
I ussually dust it with cajun seasoning, soul food seasoning and a little garlic pepper-or lemon pepper.
And poultry seasoning. Butter the skin ,and under the skin,everywhere.
Sounds like too much but it was delicious.

Where can I find authenic German Bratwurst in Louisiana???

What I am looking for is information on a butcher shop somewhere within 200 miles of central Louisiana that does not have an internet presence, but makes real German sausage.
I have found many that make Cajun sausages but I am unable to find any supplier of authenic German foods closer than New Orleans or Houston. This is ironic when you consider that Cajun sausage makers originally learned their craft from German immigrants

I Know:
1– About the festival in Roberts Cove – it’s great, I go every year. They ship their sausage in from West Texas, but there is no store in the town that sells German foods throughout the year. BTW; New Orleans has a better Oktoberfest
2– How to Google. There are hundreds of sites selling German Foods. Most of the better Bratwurst sites seem to be in Wisconsin – I’m in the backwoods of Louisiana – the shipping charges are greater than the cost of the sausage.
$75 for six pounds of sausage is too much for me.
