I cooked the dish "Farre" last weekend tailgating. I believe it to be a very local (Vacherie & Kreamer/Bayou Boeuf) dish. John Folse has it in his big book and has also done a cooking show with it. Cliff notes, dressing mix cooked down and made into a samich. it is always served at weddings in these ST. James/Lafourche parish communities. just curious how local the dish is..

It's not a southern bayou Lafourche thing...maybe just bayou boeuf and back Vacherie? But I'm intrigued and going to ask around. I am always looking for obscure local non restaurant dishes, like routtee, fricot, etc.

Can you be a bit more descriptive and use adult words perhaps? I have no idea what you're talking about.

I dunno, I understod exactly what the OP meant.
Dressing mix= a mixture of cleaned, diced chicken livers and gizzards. Sold in most local (to me and the OP, obvi) supermarkets as a short cut for making rice dressing or dirty rice or cornbread dressing. Typically, it is sautéed with aromatics before it is used.

A sandwich made of sautéed offal...is that precise enough for you? I see it as a spiritual cousin to the guastedde of Palermo (but those are made with spleen) or the lampredotto of Florence (tripe).

Hmm. Never heard of that. Probably a geographic limitation on my part.

Again, not something I've ever been exposed to. Sounds interesting at least. Will navigate that link for more info thanks for the clarification for us north La. folk.

Sounds interesting. Might give this a try this weekend. Somewhat skeptical of J. folse recipes though.

Ive been to plenty weddings in St.James/Vacherie back Vacherie, front Vacherie, Wallace...... never seen that served at a wedding in my 37 years. Maybe im missing out.

I'll say this, normally for the Holidays I cook the rice dressing. I cook my rice and dressing a day or 2 before then warm and mix it right before we ready to eat. Me and little CB always make a sandwich with the cooked dressing mix. One of my favourites.

it has a few diff recipes for this, but J.Folse was born and raised in Vacherie, so talking to elders it seems legit and not "touristed"

J. Folse has some good recipes, but when I want to know how to cook something Vacherie style I call my mom or my Ta-Taunt.

I've never heard of it, but it does look interesting, especially with the sweet potatoes.

It's a type of sweet potato, ground meat, chicken livers/gizzards dressing. Very rich!

I've never heard of this dressing mix.

And I call "rice dressing" dirty rice, so like R2R, the OP was totally confusing to me.

Although, dirty rice on bread sounds like starch overload

I thought you were making sandwiches from Ranch powder.
