When I was at LSU in the late 50's, there was a 'restaurant' called Cosmos at the bottom of the hill in TigerTown. You could get something they called 'Shrimp Étouffée" there for a dime. What you got was a bowl of rice that was sorta pinkish in color - sometimes there wold even be a small bit of something that you could imagine to be bit of shrimp.

I ate there more often than I'd like to recall - but I was in better shape than the students who worked there for the meals.
