Pleasant surprise!

We usually go to a restaurant for lunch after church, taking turns choosing which one. Yesterday it was just Nita and me, so we picked a small family style one close to the church. Usual fare is fried chicken, chicken strips, catfish, country fried steak, things like that.

Yesterday I saw a new item on the menu ~ shrimp and sausage Creole. Well, had to try that, and glad I did! Shrimp and smoked sausage in Cajun sauce served over rice like an etoufe. Just spicey enough to let you know it was Cajun, with generous amounts of that smoked sausage.

Sides I had were boiled cabbage and fried okra. Cabbage also had a smokey flavor about it.

And fried apple pie with vanilla ice cream!

One of these days I really have to come down there and make you a sample of chicken afritada and/or abodo. Then just to make you unhappy to see us leave, some pancit.

My mother used to make a shrimp creole over rice. The main feature was the spicy butter sauce poured over it. Unfortunately the recipe was lost.

Drive a bit further south and go to Bozo's in Pascagoula. The shrimp po'boys are worth the drive! I just got home from a visit to the Mississippi gulf coast and I am already dreaming of going back for more of that food. Plus, I never saw a "No Guns Allowed" type sign anywhere during my visit to the Biloxi area.

I'd have ordered the same thing. Yum !

I love it when restaurants do that. They invent or find something that you haven't seen before and do it well and it's just a game-changer and a palate-pleaser. Spark of inspiration, creativity, as it were . I have a local restaurant that started serving - get this - Peanut Butter and Banana Burgers with Bacon and I tried one the other night and was just flabbergasted. Little thin slices of banana (not a huge agglomeration), a little peanut butter with a few strips of bacon and MAN that was a great burger.

I wonder if they would deliver to the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia? Sounds Great.

Sounds great to me! I am Cajun so I can appreciate vittles like those.
