Thats disgusting too, as is (IMO) crab.

I would be safe in assuming that sushi would be right out then, too?

Eww.

I dont eat any type of seafood, so sushi is definitely off the list. Eww.

Got it in one.

Mmmm, what a lovely dinner... a nice plate of raw fish and then a couple of mouthfuls of beaver.

Give me a plate of macaroni & cheese Kraft Dinner any day. I'll take my chances with the chemicals.

That's not a meal, it's bait.

Yup. Well I think I'll be avoiding Louisiana for a while, I dont think my stomach could take it

I had some Sushi on Sunday and it was GREAT!!

You'll have to avoid parts of Canada too, as they host the World's Largest Beaver Dam! Visible From Space!

But I dont get the whole thing about eating beaver. I realize LA isnt the wealthiest state in the US, but even for the most financially deprived, I'd have thought Hamburger Helper would be preferable to eating beaver. EWW x 500.

I don't think many people actually eat nutria on anything like a regular basis.  Hamburger Helper--look at the ingredients on the package--lots of industrial chemical sounding stuff, yuck.

Its not beaver itself I would avoid, because you can find beaver anywhere and everywhere. Its eating them that makes me want to upchuck, hence avoiding Louisiana rather than Canada.

Yeah but I'd rather swallow a chemical factory than a rat. Eww. So far, I cant say you're painting a very pretty picture of Louisiana's cuisine scene. Eww.

The "Cajuns" are from Canada, the Acadians who came after being expelled from Canada by the British.  They joined other French who came directly to Louisiana and Spanish colonialists and are generally referred to by the Spanish term, creole or criollohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criollo_people--a person of European descent born in the colonies and hence ineligible under colonial rule to hold certain positions of authority  under Spanish colonial laws at the time.  
Sorry you want to avoid us .

Yes I know all that, but Canadians dont eat beaver. Weezeeannans eat Beaver. Eww. Its not YOU I want to avoid (you're an honourary Weezeeannan), but if I ever found myself in NO, I think I'd probably stick to bottled water and Hostess twinkies. Between crushed duck guts, jambalaya (whatever THAT is) and beaver, I'd rather die of Hostess twinkie poisoning.

Eww.

In NO, it might be bottled water, but more likely a bottle of Abita Amber or Turbodog or any of their other choices--a local brew that's gone viral nationally.  The crushed duck guts--that's Tour D'Argent in Paris, France--and if given the chance I'll eat your share.  Nutria, don't worry, haven't seen one in sometime, but did see a dead armadillo, a/k/a Texas Turkey on the Interstate yesterday--I've heard but never verified that those have been eaten.  Jambalaya, think of it as colonial paella.  Twinkies--eat your fill, we have heart  resuscitation  equipment if you do that too. Say, they might be good flambed for dessert!
