Loved reading this. I am from French Louisiana (Cajun) and I grew up eating boudin which is mixed with rice and meat from a boucherie made by my grandparents. This was done on my Fathers side. On my Mothers side we had wonderful bread puddings from stale bread and raisins, etc that my grandmother made. Nice to read the origins of where our foods came from.
We have such a variety of foods from our culture.
I live in VA now but I keep up with tradition foods.
Thank you for the history lesson. Have a wonderful Hotel season.
Bread Pudding is the nectar of the gods. I learned about it when I was teaching on John’s Island, SC where the dark skinned children speak Gullah. Their lunches often included bread pudding and I unashamedly
Asked for leftovers. I was in my 30s then, but I will never forget those people or their pudding.
