 | re: Bayou Cajuns vs Prairie Cajuns - futuretigermom on 12/22/12 at 5:13 pm Don't know about the egg/potato salad thing, it was always a staple growing up (southern tip of Lafourche parish). They don't do the mardi gras by horseback down there,but they always have a boat parade that goes down the bayou between hwy 1 & hwy 308. I can agree that shrimp are in much greater use...

 | Bacon Jam/Marmalde *Pics Added* - futuretigermom on 12/19/12 at 4:43 pm This was mentioned in previous posts and thoroughly intrigued me. It is happily simmering away on the stove and I have to say I'm kind if pumped about this experiment. I say experiment because I didn't follow the recipe to the "T". The tweaks include 1) Steen's cane syrup subbed for theaple syrup 2)...

If you don't it will clump and be hard. It may take a few tries to get the proper texture but after you master it it's pretty easy. Oh, make sure you use rice vinegar not rice wine vinegar. ...
