Roadside Food Tour of Louisiana AKA artery clogin' highway

I arrived home on the FL gulf coast with a car load of dirty clothes, grumpy girls and foods from every corner of Louisiana.

It all started with a Watermelon.

A Saline, Louisiana melon. I picked it up in Dodson, Winn Parish for all you foreigners. We didn't eat it because Mom had two other ones.

So I brought it home.

Along with a Jar of Momsey's homemade bread and butter pickles and two tomatoes from her plants.

I picked up a Jar of Peach preserves and Peach salsa at the Peach orchard.

On the way home today, I stopped at the fruit stand and bought a box of peaches and butter beans....

but wait, that's not all.....

I stopped at Lea's to get two pies. Chocolate and Pecan. Yum!

When I got to Krotz Springs I stopped at Billy's to get Boudin. I can't resist that silly sign with the pig that says "BOUDIN AND CRACKLIN". I was tempted by the large tubs of iced long neck beers.

Instead, I got two fried boudin balls and 2$ worth of cracklins, or fried pig according to daughter in the middle.

If there had been a roadside attraction for the largest congealed square of hogs head cheese and biggest corn dog on a stick, I think we would have stopped there too.

But I did make it home from my week at the Peach Festival with the Rustonians. It was fun. I will add more later.

I'm tired and my stomach is a little upset from the cracklins, but they were soooooo good.

AIIIEEEE!
