If things don't work out for you in New York, we have the true heart and soul of American food culture and history. Louisiana is one of the few places where we wear the pride of food on our souls just like Italy. Alessio knows how it feels when people desecrate food.

After I lived in New Orleans for ten years and two years in Baton Rouge, I moved to Missouri. At my job in Missouri my difficult co-worker and I spent much time together because we would travel to different cities and stay each night in a motel. I decided to talk about things that were not controversial. One day my co-worker asked me why I was always hungry. I was quite puzzled so I asked him to explain. He said I must be hungry because I was ways talking about food. I thought about it for awhile and realized that I talked about food because I thought it was a good topic of conversation, not because I was hungry. In Louisiana people would talk about the food that they had eaten, the food that they were going to eat later in the day and their ideal food. Food was a very popular subject in Louisiana but not in Missouri. I realized that most people in Missouri don't talk about food and don't appreciate good food.

I am from St Louis and also spent time in New Orleans often for business. Everyone I know from my hometown talks about food, because we have enclaves of people from everywhere (and are a well kept secret). Name an ethnicity and you will find immigrants from there running a great restaurant here. We have the last 'little Italy' in America. I love the food in Louisiana but it does not have the diversity of Missouri. Sorry your coworker was such a dud.

I know what you mean. I lived in the New Orleans area for 7 years and I couldn't get enough of the food, the people and the whole vibe of the place. There's no place else like it and man, I really miss the food. Just today, I was thinking how much I could go for a shrimp Po' boy for lunch. Just sayin'.

Alessio, you probably don't know this, but there used to be (in the early 1900s) a large Sicilian population between New Orleans and just into Mississippi. The reason that there aren't now is because whole Sicilian families (children included) were lyn€hed - my relatives included! My great grandmother's aunt was rap£d by a kk.k member. That guy came into her uncle's grocery store bragging to him about what he had done to his wife. My uncle unalived him. My great grandmother was awakened that night by her parents and they left everything they had, fleeing to Memphis. There are still a few families left, but most scattered to the wind or didn't survive. Didn't know if you would be interested in that little nugget of Italian-American history. Love you guys! 🤍🙏🕊

@reginapolo3357 Ай бұрын

Interesting. I did military funerals while stationed in Baton Rouge. Once while waiting for the funeral my shipmate and I just walked about the cementary in Chactaw and all tombs (the entired cementary) had Italian names. When the funeral was over I asked the funeral director where were all the Italians and she responded ,"everywhere"....I was puzzled because I didnt see any signs of Italian presense, (the only other cultural presence was a small mexican restaurant where mexican workers ate). Chacktow, for the ones that do not know, is a very small, in the middle of nowhere town, between Baton Rouge, New Orleans and the border of Mississippi.

Yupp that’s why people need to know History. And also learn why the government created “Christopher Columbus Day!” They picked the wrong person for that day. But they were trying to appease the Italians.

@ditackett Ай бұрын

I was born in NJ into a 2nd Gen Italian family and I did not realize how bad they were treated when we first came to America. It seems that there were several larger groups of foreigners that came to America in the middle to late 1800 after the civil war. I thought Chinese were the ones that were the group that was mostly treated like poo. 💩. But Italians and Irish were treated maybe even worse. I don’t really know how Jewish people were treated prior to WW2 but I wouldn’t think now with what’s going on that they were treated much better.

@MayimHastings Ай бұрын

@@ditackett Yeah, we Jews had it pretty bad, even after ww2. And now (there have been a lot of incidents outside of my synagogue recently that are terrifying. We are being blamed for the evil actions of Net.anyahu and Ha.mas). But i do think that, collectively, Asians have probably faired the worst. As you said, the Chinese in particular. I think that whenever it comes to minorities, those with the smallest voices are usually the ones who have suffered the most. History belongs to the victor, unfortunately. The stories have all been stamped out, or altered. So many Chinese immigrants were killed - especially during the railroad days, as you know. Human beings are just horrible. Why can't people just see each other as what we are - family 😥. Sorry, i wasn't intending to rant 🤍🙏🕊

I grew up in New Orleans and in 7th grade we would take a unit of New Orleans history and the best part was a field trip to the quarter where we would tour the cabildo and Jackson square and the French market. The best part is we would end up at Cafe Du Monde for beignets and us kids would have milk instead of coffee with chicory.

Lived in New Orleans 40 years ago. Cannot remember which restaurant had a Bread Pudding Soufflé with Bourbon Sauce. To die for. When I first moved there one of my friends would call and we would eat Sunday night dinner. For dessert Bananas Foster. A few years later I would make Bananas Foster Bread Pudding with rum sauce.

Bread Pudding is a favorite in our house. I got a bread machine during the pandemic so now we have a decent amount of leftover homemade bread at the end of the week.
