my maternal g-mother was from Bayou Goula. Ditto several others with crawfish bisque . Sat down with her several months ago as she gave me her entire recipe book .... stuffed artichoke, carrot soufflé, oyster dressing, candied yams with praline topping, artichoke casserole, etc....

my paternal g-mother wasn't much of a cook. When I was in kindergarten I remember she made a mean grilled cheese sandwich and awesome bread, butter, and sugar She would drink Miller "Ponies" in the little 6 oz. bottles

My grandparents owned a seafood shop in Biloxi as I was growing up and I stayed with them every summer. Every day we would bring home a pint of crab claws and me and paw paw would watch a Braves game and eat them.

For supper maw maw would fry up fresh oysters and would make poboys with Barq's rootbeer floats. I can still taste it and remember them.

Crawfish bisque with the crawfish heads stuffed with pork and crawfish meat, smothered in bisque.

Incredible. I've never anything that even comes close to hers.

Dad's Mom - Killed by Philip Morris before I was old enough to know her.

Mom's Mom - Admittedly and agreeably a horrible cook. She would make some dishes on holidays, serving mostly apologies.

The favorite things my MawMaw from Cottonport made would have to be gar balls or cabbage rolls.
I don't really remember anything my Grandma in NOLA cooked. Seems to me we ate in the Quarter alot.

My only grandmaw (the other died way before I was born) made some really good liver and onions. She'd always give me a call to come over and eat with her and paw-paw since no one else in the fam liked liver.

My paternal grandmother makes fantastic chicken & dumplings, chicken fricasse, bread of all types and shrimp gravy.

My maternal grandmother was a fantastic cook, from what I gather, but stopped cooking completely after my paw paw died, which was shortly before I was born.
