If you were putting together a couple of non-perishable Louisiana Food Care Packages, what would they include?

Your (or their) favorite seasoning blend, like Tony's or Slap Ya Mama.

I would include Community coffee, but that's my favorite. Do you drink a Louisiana brand?

I give baskets of Louisiana products as hostess gifts when we visit/stay with family out of state. Besides the suggestions mentioned above, I often include local jams/jellies, local honey, Community Coffee, local pickles, Abita Root Beer, NuNus or some other seasoning, and Hanley's Sensation Salad Dressing. In addition to the food items I usually put some Louisiana themed tea towels, spreaders and appetizer plates.

Understatement there. I can't imagine not being able to source that where I lived. It's a staple.

+1 on the Steens, and a selection of hot sauces. Local honey, some fig preserves, roux in a jar and/or dry roux powder, liquid crab boil....

The last one I sent included some Tabasco coffee mugs, Mardi Gras beads, and a zydeco CD.

I'd want some Blue Runners and Crystal Extra Hot. Regular I can get.

Community is available everywhere now isn't it?

My son just asked me to send him some out in the boondocks in west Texas, so I don't think so.
