Walt, I forgot to mention that La. residents are exempt from the GOLD STAR. I too am a La. native from up in Shreveport, although most people who live south of I-10 call me a yankee, HAHAHA!!!

Actually anybody that lives south of Main Street in Bunkie calls you a yankee. I thought everybody knew that the mason dixon line runs right down the middle of the main street of Bunkie. Justin will keep you straight if you listen to him.

This was a timely thread for me since I stopped in Sorrento on the way home today and scored two links of boudin and a soda water for lunch. I've eaten the white, I've eaten the red, I've eaten the boudin balls, some of them from some very big boudins, and I have eaten the plastic cased and natural cased varieties. I'm here to tell folks it is all good! Of course I was born on Latte Naiche Bayou in Point Coupee Parish and my neighbors didn't speak english.

All very familiar places. I recently sold some land I owned on Hwy 22 near Head of Island and on 444 near French Settlement. I have kinfolk from almost one end of HWY One in Louisiana to the other so Mansura isn't unknown territory either.

Me and a running buddy were going night fishing out of a canoe I had back then up at Old River, the one near Innis Louisiana. We got there before dark and went into Hopkins Landing to top off on lubricant until nightfall. Somebody got Hugh Dan on a pool table(yup we were both named "Hugh" to the confusion of everyone we met) I was still working on my second beer when Hugh came to tell me he was busted. Action required so I ambled over and busted the guy that had just busted my running buddy. Now we were drinking on somebody else's dime and never unloaded the canoe. We partied on up to Simmesport and Mansura and all the way back down river road to Baton Rouge. Got a ticket in Simmesport that the cop allowed me to pay on the spot. I gave him fifty bucks and left laughing. That was one ticket that would never hit the record books.

I won't say we eat everything down here but the name plates on all the animal cages at Audubon Zoo do include recipes.

All true.
And then there were the mulattos;
In the United States, the term was in the beginning also used as a term for those of mixed white and Native American ancestry. Mulatto was an official census category until 1930. In the south of the country mulattos inherited slave status if the mother was a slave, although in Spanish and French-influenced areas of the South prior to the Civil War (particularly New Orleans, Louisiana) a number of mulattos were also free and slave-owning.

Is it "Hu" or "Hugh"?..just curious my friend.

Both.

It is "Hu" pronounced "Hugh". Hu is my nickname that I have used for over thirty-five years and is also my legal signature on thousands of drawings.
