I do but my wife’s family doesn’t. This is what I get for marrying a yankee.

We have pocked eggs for generations. I never knew it was spelled “pacque”, nor did we repeat the word.
Then again, it’s not something we wrote about, so I guess I couldn’t say exactly how we spelled it. We just said it. In my mind, it was “pocking eggs”.

Don't remember an Easter without pocking. Just beat my 2 year old niece because I'm superior in every way.. Then she cried so I had to give her my egg

I lived in Bunkie as a kid and we always pocked eggs. For the longest time I never knew everyone else didn't.

First that I ever heard of it was from a girl from Cottonport. Sounds like a nice tradition.

Not so much anymore. The kids are grown but yes, we pacque as a child, and when my kids were young. Im originally from Eunice, I think most people pacque there

Yep. Done it my whole life. Born and raised here in BR, but my grandparents who taught it to us are both from Basile

Easter
Mom Hacks, Tips & Tricks
I am a proud Cajun. Both of my parents are from central Louisiana and came down to New Orleans when they decided to start a family. When I was a kid, they did a great job of blending their Cajun culture with our new “city” life. Not only did they teach us how to speak some Cajun French, but we also learned how to make an awesome Cajun jambalaya, read The Cajun Night Before Christmas with the appropriate dialect, and when it came to Easter, we learned how to “paques” (pock) or “knock” eggs.
What is pocking eggs?
You are probably like, what in the heck does “Paques” mean? In French, the term “Paques” translates to Easter, and it is pronounced like “pock.” While that is the meaning, in the Cajun culture, it also is used to describe an activity that has been around for years. “Knocking” or “pocking” eggs is also the sound that the eggs make when tapped together. I remember the first Easter I celebrated with my husband and his family. We were waiting for lunch to start, and I said “When are we pocking eggs?” and my in laws looked at me like I was a weirdo. They had never heard of such a thing, and it was then that I realized that not everyone does this for Easter

Always did it at my grandparents in Alexandria. They grew up in VP.

Grew up in Avoyelles and almost everyone did it back in the day. They used to have a contest outside the parish courthouse in Marksville on Easter Sunday.
