You believe him?

I mean, I guess it’s possible, but his post was in the context of there being a lot of little things that people don’t know about cooking Louisiana foods.

Cooking beans is hardly something unique to Louisiana. Presumably someone in Texas, with its Spanish and Mexican influences, would have some modicum of knowledge about cooking beans. And that’s even before, as you pointed out, we get to the directions being printed on the packaging.

I think the guy’s passing on some old wives tales about how no one North of I-10 can cook Louisiana foods.
