You need something with crawfish. Will you cook there at all? Cold or hot crawfish dip? Crawfish pies?

I always get Blue plate mayo and community coffee when I go home---also have to get a some grits, but of course you can get those in ga.

Not food, but local seasonings usually go well in care packages. You can use it for anything that is cooked while there, plus it lasts a while. My favorites are Tony's and Bon Caca.

he is actually having tony's seafood send in crawfish and shrimp and all the sides.
i was thinking snack food like things. granted, boudin and cheese bread from bourques is a meal fit for a king to me.

i might have phrased topic wrong. he comes home about once every two months for company business and gets stuff to take home.
this is actually for the guest that never really eat anything from here.

+1 on Zapps, Abita, Coffee-Community or River Roads, Steen's...oh, they sell mini frozen crawfish and meat pies-that would be good for the guests to try...
Posted on 6/16/10 at 3:39 pm to brfoodie
Hubig's pies....lemon & apple a must!

Take some hurricane mix. Do them virgin for the kids and happy for the adults. "Furriners" love the hurricane. My Atlanta friends request them every year for their crawfish party.
Oh, and take some Saints super bowl stuff to rub it in a little!

I know some of these are not in season and you don't have time to get all of these but some other ideas from LA include:
Satsumas from Simon Citrus farm in Kaplan
CajunPower Garlic sauce from Abbeville
Tamales from Zwolle or Ivy's Pride tamales from St. Amant
Natchitoches meat pies from Lasyones
Ruston peaches from Mitcham Farms
Stuffed chicken or other fowl from Hebert's Market in Maurice
Steen's cane syrup vinegar from Abbeville
Cracklins from Bourques/Port Barre or Billy's in Opelousas
Mayhaw jelly from Pleasant Acres in Pineville
Cheese from Bittersweet Plantation Dairy in Gonzales(I think)
Cousins Creole Tomato Salad Dressing from Covington
Leidenheimer French Bread from New Orleans
Just some random thoughts/ideas.
Enjoy Hotlanta!
