I'll dig a poboy

I didn't read this thread right the 1st time! When I opened it up all I could see was the shrimp and crawfish! 

 

Anyways my birthday is in Oct so I'll take the poboy.....

Is October a fried shrimp poboy? I can get behind that as my food birthstone!

Strawberries?? All that cajun food and I get strawberries??

I was born in December. I'm not sure what that pastry is, but I can't have it because I'm diabetic. I might have to change my date of birth to November. Hold the rice!

Mine is November but I will change it to September if that is fried chicken.

Mudbugs? UGH!

I was born in February and I have no hangin' idea what that food is in the photo.  The colors aren't all that appealing to me but maybe when I find out what it is, I'll feel differently...

 

Bon appétit,

Bob

Bob, that is a Mardi Gras King Cake.

 

It is sold by the thousands during Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

 

It is outstanding!

 

Brew some hot coffee and sit at the table and eat to your heart's delight.

 

Look up King Cake on the Internet and you will find out about it.

 

And then, next Mardi Gras season, order one from Randazzos Bakery and pass a good time.  It is a delicacy!!!!

Thanks for the info, Sam.  I just read the Wikipedia entry for it and was surprised I hadn't heard of it (I was raised Catholic and the family always observed Lent).  Thanks for filling me in.  I can now blame my New Orleans-style birthstone for my sweet tooth!

 

Laissez les bons temps rouler,

Bob

Mmm... fried chicken... ?

King cakes are great!

 

 

If mom would have waited a few more days to have me I'd be dining on shrimp.  Instead I get coffee and a pastry.  And I don't drink coffee.

Don’t drink coffee? How do you function!?!?
