Anthony Bourdain - No Reservations - Cajun Country 2:3

[marshallbrave]

kardashians are so famous.

[WEEDminsterCA]

crawfish jizz??

[Stingray8854]

@kdolo100 Yes, a few, but they're lost. We send search parties to find them and bring them home. HA! No, just kidding. There's a few "transplants" here and there, but you don't find many Cajuns in significant communities (as far as I know at least), outside of southern Louisiana, in what's known as the "Acadiana" region of the state.

[Stingray8854]

@kdolo100 Cool! Take a look at my channel. I have a gumbo video you may want to check out. It's "real-deal, sure-nuff" Cajun food, one of many ways we make it here in south Louisiana. It's not hard to make. Not too many ingredients, basically boiling and stirring. It takes some time, about two hours, but Cajun food is not about rushing anyway. If you can't get the exact ingredients, a few minor substitutions should be fine. Take a look, and feel free to leave comments.

[kdolo100]

@Stingray8854 Are there Cajuns in Mississippi?

[kemiseba2011]

@kdolo100 who died and gave you the right to shout on anyone in any part of africa here? better shut up and move it along or get your butt whooped and a touch of LASSA fever to finish off the job ..

[kdolo100]

At 6:40-6:41 was he deglazing with beer or wine? Somebody tell me.

[loubuccleuch]

loved Anthony's kardashians and jersey housewife comments when shaving hair off the pig . . . LOL!

[retrohippie]

That chick in the white/red dress "Emma Young".....holy shit, she looks great.

[conorholt]

covered in crawfish what??????

[kdolo100]

@conorholt bisque.

[2damaxmr2]

Double tap!

[RubberChocobo]

They were praying for a pig? o-O

[HrHaakon]

@RubberChocobo

Of course.

You show respect to those you eat, right?



[RubberChocobo]

@HrHaakon Makes sense, somewhat, I s'pose. =)

[kalimaganeshshivan]

It wouldn't have been a problem with me killing that pig either. I would have pretended it was either a Nazi or a cop!  BANG BANG!!!

[YeuLaKho]

yummy crawfish and crabs

[halomouse]

I love that on most shows, viewer discretion advised means a bit of bad language or simulated sex and violence. No Reservations, it means 'we're gonna kill something and then eat it, and it is going to be very, very tasty.'

[oopopp]

14:21 its weekend at the kardashians...ooohhh!!!

HAHAAHAHA!!! That family do remind me of un-washed hairy pigs.

[kalimaganeshshivan]

@oopopp  LMFAO!

[oopopp]

11:23 thats like a scene from Braveheart haha. I wonder if the pig oinked FREEEEEDOM at the end?

[l1i2a31]

oh my god i can't look somethink like this poor pig

[megreg08]

@l1i2a31

Well really, I think about it like this. The way he did it was pretty quick. I'll go ahead and assume that the pig was farm raised, so it probably had a pretty good, well fed life. They even prayed over the creature before they processed and ate everything from it they could, and fed heaven knows how many people at that. Compare this to what happens to pigs that come from factory farms and go into slaughterhouses. I think this way is a lot nicer.

[AmberFairydust]

@megreg08 don't forget that ALL the meat is used, it's not where i come from ;)

[megreg08]

@AmberFairydust lol, I'm pretty sure they don't do that where I live either, but I wish they would. I think I would like the whole "self sustained and wholesome" kind of life, but I don't see it happening right this minute.:) I have thoughts on this whole idea that could go on for miles.

[AmberFairydust]

@megreg08 i wish we could do that all over the world, better for our envirement, and for our social engagement, the world wuld just be a better place (LOL)

[CalloftheWarrior1]

@l1i2a31 I can, and I'll eat it too.

[tunes2k1]

i fucking love anthony yo! best show ever!

[CultofGnaw]

Anyone** sry I'm kinda drunk lolz

[CultofGnaw]

Anybone knows the song at 12:41 ? Really nice episode!

[Stingray8854]

@zabppl While I don't consider rednecks to be a derogatory term, you got it wrong. I'm from the area where this was filmed, in south Louisiana. We're not rednecks. We're Cajuns.

[kdolo100]

@Stingray8854 Hey man after watching this, i have a new found respect for Cajun cooking.

[zabppl]

lol rednecks

[yakuzelizard]

I'm a coon ass from Louisiana...the 'Lobster getting lonely and following the Cajuns down South' story is just a classic sense of Cajun humor. I love my people...and we love ya'll.

[lumpymallows]

this is one of my favorite episodes along with the brittany france one. It's so wonderful, everything about it. The people, the community, the food. Gives me a peaceful warm feeling inside.

[Stingray8854]

"...Uniquely, deeply wonderful...". Nice. I live about 30 minutes south of Breaux Bridge, in New Iberia, La, and I grew up in Eunice, La, where they had the boucherie. We Cajuns don't do this every day, but it doesn't take much of a reason for us to have a get-together and do some cooking. I love the pretty baby with the gravy dripping down her little chin at 9:43. Cute! If you like this, check out my gumbo video on my channel. You may like my other videos too. Please, please, leave comments.

[yakuzelizard]

Hahahahahaha...5:42.."You gotta really want it..."

[JDUtdallas]

Obviously most people here have never killed nor butchered and animal before so they are speaking out there backsides claiming to know what is best . Well I have killed and dressed many an animal so from experience using a 22lr revolver such as the Heritage that Tony was using is the ideal weapon to dispatch a animal of that size. The animal is brain dead once shot, its heart pumps until it runs out of blood to do so via the neck wound thus the heart does the clearing of the blood for you.

[mardamek1]

don't mean to sound like I want to teach these guys how to do things, but I think shooting the pig is just plain retarded. I mean if you're gonna kill it, just cut his head off, like you'd butcher any other animal. or, if it's an issue of difficulty, and the animal needs to be "calmed down" first, they could just hit him in the head with a sledge hammer to knock him unconscious. In any case, it just looks pointless to shoot something that's not being hunted in the wild...

[amayagab]

@mardamek1 Respect for the animal and for the meal you are about to recieve, the pig never knew what hit it. Cutting it's head off while it's freaking out and thrashing around is a big pain in the ass and hitting it in the head with a hammer would take more effort than just shooting it in the brain. Double tapping the forehead is quick, easy and humane, the best way to have a meal.

[mardamek1]

@amayagab, I guess that's one way of looking at it. the thing is, though, that it's not just about being "humane" to the animal (since we're talking about taking his life away, anyway), but rather about the right way of butchering. again, I'm neither Jewish, nor Muslim, but in my country the idea of halal or haram still exists in a way, and one part of that is that you cut the animals head, so that the blood drains out from the major arteries in the neck. that way, the meat will be pure.

[amayagab]

@mardamek1 They did drain the blood. Right after they shot the animal and right before they boiled the skin they jammed a knife in it's neck and collected to blood to make the boudin noir. And you can't eat pork if you follow halal or haram anyway.

[mardamek1]

@amayagab, now that you told me, I remembered that they did drain the blood. that still doesn't solve the issue of having two bullets stuck in the head, though. as far as halal and haram, you don't need to think of it in terms of religious beliefs and rules. halal/haram is not strictly a muslim idea, so that it would need to be explained through their religion. it is simply about having clean healty meat, no matter what the animal is.

[riderstein]

All I got to say is this is Gambit's hometown

[numerouno83]

This is one of the best episodes.. EVER!

[MzPlaneta]

"...scraping off hair like Jersey Housewives before hittin' the beach." OMG LMAO!!! You're the best, K!!

[suhaili]

"weekend at the kardashians. OH!!!" :B

[Chaucer129]

The pig is a magical creature...

[H0tkebab]

Though I'm a vegetarian, I'm happy to see there is a good level of respect. Tony preformed a nice quick, clean kill. The pig wouldn't of felt anything.

[rostant999]

in thailand kill pigs and share meat eat solid blood and have a big party during holiday celebration. but pig is killed by tying his legs together so he cant move then cut his jugular he bleeds to death quickly (screams in pain a little bit) but no bullet in the brain - they cut off the head boil it and offer it to the house spirits so think shooting it in the head would be unacceptable. also most men are drunk through celebration so letting one of them have a gun is not good idea either.

[pemchem]

Aww poor piggy. But he looked like he had a good life, and his death was quick. He's alive one moment, and dead the next. He was probably able to run around in a field instead of some awful factory.

[angelmarine1292]

Just know noble pig, that your loss of life was in the great act of providing us with bacon. You will live on in our memories and stomachs forever.

[kaindrg]

@angelmarine1292 amen. 

[crytoyourmom]

@angelmarine1292 ur so full of shit...

[angelmarine1292]

@crytoyourmom And you're a random asshole.
