Posted by loosilu (aka loosilu2) Apr 14 '11, 10:22

there is plenty of non-seafood. but shrimp poboys are so good.

also ... screw lent. Lent doesn't count in NOLA. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:23 7
- Look - God has already smited NOLA once - let's not give him any reason to be angry while I'm there. - Epiphany Apr 14, 10:27 6
  - Are you packing an empty suitcase for your bead necklaces? :) -- nm - con_carne Apr 14, 10:29 5
    - Yes! LOL. - Epiphany Apr 14, 10:33 4
      - you can grab them off random trees and railings. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:35 3
        
        During Lent? I only saw them for sale or being worn by old people in October. -- nm - Amy Apr 14, 10:58 1
        
        in september I saw trees and railings covered with them. (not so much in the french quarter) - loosilu Apr 14, 11:18
        
        And then be sure to have the camera ready to catch the look on SM's face when he sees you unpack -- nm - con_carne Apr 14, 10:38
I like grilled shrimp if not too shrimpy tasting. I like my friend's home made crab cakes - Catfish for some reason does not agree with me - Epiphany Apr 14, 10:23 26
- I'm sensitive to all seafood, and survived New Orleans. You can actually live on Hurricanes and beignets. -- nm - Amy Apr 14, 10:52
- I hate catfish, honestly. but there is other food. You might even find turtle soup. - loosilu Apr 14, 10:24 24
  - I'd do it. But I understand you can't eat your totem. - Epiphany Apr 14, 10:25 23
    - I think you should suspend Lent for beignets. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:27 22
      - oh shit - I was hoping they did not have sugar in them ( I dont'know what they are, only that they are specific to NOLA) - Epiphany Apr 14, 10:28 21
        
        they're like mini doughnuts -- nm - peglegpete Apr 14, 10:33 10
        
        They *are* mini doughnuts. Translate "doughnut" to French... -- nm - Shaun Apr 14, 10:41 9
        
        but they're neither mini, nor doughnut shaped. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:43 7
        
        donuts come in more than one shape. - b. Apr 14, 10:50 3
        
        oh, I know. NOLA donuts are a special case, though. The Cafe du Monde ones (which are by far the most famous) are brick shaped. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:51 2
        
        "not doughnut shaped" -- nm - b. Apr 14, 11:16 1
        
        glad we got to the bottom of that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 11:23
        
        IDGAF what shape they are. "Doughnut" is French is "beignet." Correct? -- nm - Shaun Apr 14, 10:47 1
        
        beigne or beignet, yes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:48
        
        (at least, the NOLA variety) -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:43
        
        compositionally, lighter and fluffier on the inside -- nm - moles Apr 14, 10:42
        
        technically, you could not sprinkle sugar on them. (what's the point, but you could.) -- nm - TFox Apr 14, 10:28 9
        
        is there no sugar in them? but yeah, they sort of should be buried in a mountain of powdered sugar. - loosilu Apr 14, 10:29 8
        
        Yes, there's sugar in the dough. -- nm - mara Apr 14, 10:34
        
        it's just fried dough, right? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 14, 10:30 4
        
        yes -- nm - moles Apr 14, 10:34 1
        
        I thought everywhere had this.(soon: fair season (!!)) -- nm - amanda jones Apr 14, 10:36
        
        I'm not a beignetologist either. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:33 1
        
        It would be an awesome job, though -- nm - con_carne Apr 14, 10:34
        
        effed if i know. i'm not a beignetologist. -- nm - TFox Apr 14, 10:30 1
        
        I think the dough is a little sweet ... but then again it's hard to say, what with the powder. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 10:30
