What differentiates a zoo in Louisiana from other zoos? The Louisiana zoo has a description of the animal on the front of the cage, along with a recipe.
That fact alone will keep liberals at bay:)
I hope this brightens your day!
Thank you so much! That did brighten my day. We have friends from Louisiana and they were just telling us about “nutria”.
As one of this site’s token cajuns, right on.
It made me laugh.
Oh yeah....not far from the truth.
We’ll find a way to cook anything down here...lol.
Had some fried rattlesnake the other day...wasn’t bad.
Vegans in Bayou country eat meat, shrimp and crawfish....but that’s all.
I haven't tasted nutria. But the guy on TV who eats all the weird stuff was down in Louisiana on the Bayou (where all the action is) and he ate nutria and said it REALLY did taste like chicken. We tried to market it a while back but I think it is too ugly to catch on. Yes, we will try pretty much anything - and we cook it in a red gravy which makes everything edible in my book:)

Then you know I speak the truth. Anyway, between recipes on road kill, the zoo and the TV show Swamp People, we have done what the rest of the country can’t - discourage liberals from moving down here;) Maybe if all conservatives would start cooking road side the liberals would leave the country - OK it’s a thought.
We live in Texas. About once a year my husband finds a rattlesnake while he’s doing yard work.
And every single time, we eat ‘em. My kids love it. (Now, if my son would only take it easy on the friggin salt, it’d actually be delicious!)
“Dis momma crawfish was showin’ her baby crawfish da world befo dark... dey come up on a funny lookin' creature... dem baby crawfish done come to a stop... shuuuum... “What dat is dere mamaa... hah”?

I've always taken that expression as an affirmation that it wasn't all that good, either. ;-)
And they all asked for you.
rattlesnake is good, from SW Louisiana myself. And I’ll tear up some gator.
I went down to the Audubon Zoo.
And they all asked for you.
You say, they even inquired about me?
We watch all these kinds of shows and wifey/I both heartily agree that should we end up suddenly transformed to another life, we'd rather be "Troy" than those society clowns on "Selling New York".
"Shoot 'im Elizabeth! Shoot 'im!"
Haha, thanks for posting this.
I heard it this way, from an actual Cajun, standing on the tarmac of his base near New Orleans:
How can you tell you’re in a Cajun zoo?
There are recipes on the cages.
tarmac of his base near New Orleans:
Must have been Belle Chase Navel Base. I thought Cajuns had their own military:).
Haha, maybe they do.
That was definitely it - I didn’t remember the name, but it was in Plaquemines Parish. This was a while back now, but it’s vivid to me because when he told me the joke (my friend’s father) we were all standing right next to a fighter plane, the first time I’d ever been so close to one that wasn’t actually a museum piece.
It's a bad joke, I know. But a joke nonetheless.
