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.

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.

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.
but whats something new i can try.
the whole–pineapple and cherry thing is a no go.
Hubby dont like it.
I smoke it- not bake it.

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
