LaPlace in not New Orelans, it is some 30 mile out, in the swamps. BTW, ya'll, Cajun Food is not really not from New Orleans, not at all, Cajun food is from the Lafayette area, and the Acadiana Region in south and central Louisiana. New Orleans is more influenced by true French Cusine, which is not at all like Cajun cusine. Both are great though. The New Orleans French came from France, and the Cajuns came from Nova Scotia (Canada) after they got the boot from the British. Two different cultures. OK, enough about history. If you are in LaPlace, try to get to Jacob's = sausage, cracklins, boudin, and hogs head cheese. There is another famous place that makes sausages, boudin, and hogs head cheese in LaPlace, I forget the name. For anyone up North, hogs head cheese is not a cheese at all ; )

Good explanation...most folks don't realize the difference.... My family came from Acadia or Nova Scotia to the Lafayette area in the 1700's they knew how to live of the land and make the best of a bad situation.
