As a PhD type in food science and Manager of R&D I am constantly looking for great new food items especially something from Louisiana.

Today at Spec's on Smith Street here in Houston I stopped in to look for some product for work in the food area. When I turned the corner at the entrance a very tall man wearing an apron asked me if I would like to try some Mozelle's Cajun Style Crawfish Pie. Being the ever skeptical R&D type I initially said no. But he told me that the product was made in New Iberia so I elected to try it. The first piece of product I tried in the spoon was a piece of crust. Now for those of you who know anything about baking or freezing baked items you know that a crust that will freeze and bake properly is the hardest item there is to market. This crust was amazing. Flaky, flavorful, excellent crumb structure.

Heck I don't think I can even make a from scratch crust that is close to that crust. The filling was very flavorful and smooth. For my taste it could have used a bit of Louisiana Hot Sauce for spice, but I was not complaining.

I was there with a friend who knows my feelings about new products and how critical I am. He was waiting to see my reaction. I told him this was by far the best frozen product I had tasted. In fact I told him I thought it rivaled the stuffed bread I worked with Merlene Hebert on marketing when I was teaching at LSU.

On the way out we stopped back by the table and I told the 2 gentlemen there that this was the most amazing product I had tasted in a while. I wished them luck. Just wish we had not been on our way to dinner or I would have purchased a couple to take home.

If you run across this product give it a try. At Spec's it was $7.49 with the Spec's card.

I have been trying to find more information about the company but so far my Googling has not given me any results for a New Iberia company named Mozelle's.
