@indyschmidt Wow, an Asian store. I had no idea that frog legs were an a
Asian food dish. Cool! I went to one of our local supermarkets today to get a few gumbo ingredients and was pleased to see that they have alligator meat again. They were out for a while. Believe it or not, even here in south Louisiana it's not always easy to find alligator meat. And I live right near where Swamp People is filmed. Supply and demand, I guess. Anyway, high five at you from Cajun country buddy!
These people make me love the South so much more than I did before. I'm from Pennsylvania originally, but I relocated to South Carolina last year for work. It took a small amount of time, but it grew on me fast. The emphasis on family and community is where life rings truest in this video. I never encountered such friendly, compassionate, and sharing people in the North. We were all about ourselves. I know it's not true for everyone, but more often than not I feel it was the case.
@Apollo5600 Just down-to-earth people, that's all. I've had fried frog legs, and it is good. Somewhat of a light texture, like fried fish fillets. Fried alligator tail is good stuff too. Reminds me of pork chops. I don't know if you can buy frog legs, but if your interested, you can get alligator meat at cajungrocer(dot)com. Some of it is already battered, ready for the hot cooking oil. Not only that, but there's lots of other good, AUTHENTIC Cajun foods. Worth a look. Later!
The best gumbo is a crawfish shrimp gumbo throw in some mushrooms celery sausage onions and bell peppers and some jalepenos and you got a feast of festival proportions lol
@Extremefighters Realy? How so? Because they can fend for themselves and eat off the land instead of getting food stamps from the government? These are law abiding, loving caring, respectful people. They take from no one and give what they can to others. So what type of Americans make you proud?
@cjleger337 Yeah, I know it's just a joke. People call I-10 the "Mason Dixon line". In reality, you could go almost an hour drive north of I-10 and still be in "Cajun country". Crawfish boils, boudin, cracklins, REAL gumbo (not the blasphemy some people try to pass off as gumbo), and so on. To the west, I'd say probably Jennings. Going east, Grosse Tete, Maringouin, basically the east side of the Basin. Maybe a few coonasses in Baton Rouge, but they're likely transplants, or they got lost. LOL!
@MISSVISHOUS2012 New Orleans is a cool place to visit, but it's not really "Cajun". Sure, there's some Cajuns there, and Cajun restaurants, but if you really want to meet Cajuns and try GOOD Cajun food and experience our culture, you need to get out to the west and south of New Orleans. Not knocking New Orleans, but places like Lafayette, New Iberia, Breaux Bridge and surrounding areas, THAT'S "Cajun country", known as the Acadiana region of Louisiana.
@Stingray8854 I always say anything North of I-10, west of the Atchafalaya, and east of Crowley isnt true Cajun. Sometimes I feel sorry for people who went to New Orleans who enjoyed "Cajun" food. I go to NOLA for the Creole cookin..
@cjleger337 North of I-10, no, there's plenty of Cajuns there. I'm originally from Eunice, which is as Cajun as it gets. And why not between Crowley and the Basin? Plenty Cajuns there too. I've never heard of that. I've heard the north of I-10 thing plenty of times, but I never agreed to it. There's Eunice, Opelousas, Mamou, Ville Platte, all north of I-10, and UNDENIABLY Cajun. Now, I agree with you about New Orleans. Not REALLY Cajun. Still, a cool place to visit.
@Stingray8854 i completely messed that up lol i meant west of crowley and east of the basin. and there may be cajuns north of i-10 in places like eunice ville platte mamou etc, but the true prarie cajuns come from the acadiana region.
@pipEdreaM86 It depends on what part of the gator the meat comes from. There's red meat in the legs, commonly called the "dark" meat, and white meat in the tail. I've never tried the dark meat. The white tail meat is the most popular, and it's very good. If it's cleaned of the fat (NASTY stuff), the taste is somewhere between pork chops and white chicken meat. I've had some that tastes a bit like good clean fish, with no bad "fishy" taste.
@PatriotSaint12 Having some HUGE, fried gulf shrimp, some fried alligator bites, and onion rings, all seasoned to PERFECTION, with some ice cold beer from a micro brewery right here in south Louisiana, all while listening to Cajun music (Jamie Bergeron, 10 to 2 playing now. Check it out here on YouTube). We have a saying here in Cajun country, "it's so good, you'll jump up and slap ya mama!" DAMN that's some good stuff! Come visit Cajun country and try some yourself some day.
in a behind the scenes you catcha climpse of his big, giant green , skunky delicious secret spice. They actually use it legitimately and not abusively like in cali....

@AndyHurleysChicklet7 Even if you don't come here to south Louisiana, you can still have GOOD, REAL, AUTHENTIC Cajun food shipped to you. Go to cajungrocer(dot)com. They have fried alligator that's already prepared, ready for the hot cooking oil. LOTS of other stuff too. Also check out cajunfry(dot)com. That's Troy's neighbors. Literally. Same street in Pierre Part, where Troy lives. If you can make mac and cheese, you can make this stuff. Seriously, it's easy. It's well worth a look.
@Stingray8854 I'd be interested in trying some fried frog. Looks freakin good. It's funny how this is a show that people get all freaked out about. Here in Texas, they all seem no different than my own family, friends and neighbors. Except we've never fried frog before or alligator!
@utoobfan1971 As a Cajun myself I feel exactly the same way. There's another YouTube video called Yum Yum Yum (1990), from a documentary on Cajun culture. It has Marc and Ann Savoy, Cajun musicians from Eunice. Marc talks about taking a friend from Paris out camping, and cooking couvillion in a black cast iron pot over a campfire. Having eaten at all the famous, world renowned restaurants in Paris, the friend said he'd never tasted anything with such a wonderful flavor. You should take a look.
100% Cajun and proud of it! There is no place I'd rather live. I'm very proud of our culture, and yes, our FOOD! I've eaten many different cuisines from around the world and IMHO nothing beats REAL Cajun cooking.
PROUD TO BE BORN AND LIVING IN LOUISIANA, THE REST OF THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW HOW GOOD CRAWFISH,CATFISH, GATOR, ETOUFEE, GUMBO, OR JUMBALAYA REALLY IS :P
@Spankydaham924 Dude, what the hell are you talking about? Cajuns hate spice? Where do you think Tabasco sauce comes from? Avery Island, Louisiana in Cajun country, that's where. Cajuns can't cook? Tourists who visit south Louisiana from across America and around the world disagree. And who the HELL do you think you are, bad mouthing Cajun culture? You need to get off this thread and keep your insults to yourself.
Goddamn do I remember that bland ass food. Cajuns hate spice its a farce that they do. They cant cook for shit. wasnt just the gumbo either. bland ass crawfish too.
@flowerschandler That's file' (fee lay) gumbo. I'm sorry, not being a stickler or anything, I just figured you'd want to know the right lyrics, my friend!
I'm frying some alligator tail meat right now. Got an ice cold beer, good Cajun music on the radio, and the gator meat is golden brown, seasoned just right, and TASTY! Greetings from Cajun country! Aii EEE!!
stop hatin on them cajuns.... they are just unique people who are very proud of who they are and what they do.... cant help it but i admire people who stands up for their beliefs and traditions.... wish i was a cajun and eat them fried gators.... keep it up guys....
Gives me hope for this country when I see folks living and working together like this. Look at what someof them are doing. Building boats, processing their own catch, farm raising turtles & gators & exporting them. No 8 hour jobs here, these people work until the work is done. They are not sitting around watching a clock waiting on quiting time. These folks are how America used to be and why we were such a great country for so long.
SORRY for any unkindly words some folks might leave but y'all seem like some of the best real people america has left can't wait for my trip to gator country in july SWAMP people are all right in my book ..... look tree shaker
@upnharlem I HIGHLY recommend visiting Avery Island. It's where Tabasco sauce is made. It's beautiful and lots of gators there. It's about 15 minutes from my house. We had a blast going crabbing there this past weekend. We didn't catch too many crabs, but we "caught" LOTS of gators! Not actually "catching" them (no hooks, just chicken wings and turkey necks tied on a line), but they'd chase our crab bait lines, thrash, pull, fight, try to steal it, then swim off. SO much fun.Video on the way.
@NeroShrinker You can order alligator meat at cajungrocer(dot)com. They ship it to your door, and there's either just the meat itself in I think two pound packs, and some that are already prepared, ready for the hot cooking oil. There's also alligator sausage, and alligator stuffed bread rolls called "pistolettes". Probably a few other alligator products, and TONS of other good AUTHENTIC Cajun foods. Definitely worth a look.
We Love Swamp People. I hope the show continues, we record it & have not missed an episode. we love Elizabeth troys " chooter ". please continue the fun shows & God Bless you Cajun People. would love to meet them all in person!
@NATURECAMHD With all the national news covering the flood, I'm wondering how many reporters are seeing alligators for the first time. It must be amusing. I live near Avery Island, where Tabasco sauce is made. BEAUTIFUL place. The gators sun themselves, with no fences, in the tourist areas of the gardens. Some tourists must think they're tame, because they get close, take pictures, try to feed them, poke them with sticks, etc until the gator moves and the tourists RUN. Very funny.
@NATURECAMHD It's not even 25% yet. So far, only 11 out of 125 bays of the Morganza spillway are open. I'm watching the news, and they're warning people to be aware of wildlife escaping the flood and showing up in unusual places. There's a video of three deer swimming to higher land, coming out on the levee. Lots of rabbits too. I figure some black bears will be spotted, LOTS of cottonmouth snakes, and of course alligators.
@NATURECAMHD I'm sure they'll come back. Even if they have to rebuild. If there's any good news, it's that at noon today, only 25% of the spillway was open, instead of 50%, which must have been planned. The water hasn't risen as fast as expected, and looks like maybe the ground is absorbing some of it. At least that should buy a little more time to evacuate and sandbag homes. If you're interested, go to KLFY(dot)com, and KATC(dot)com.
@threeseamless As a Cajun, I thank you for the nice comment. I'm afraid, however, that most of these guys on the show are directly in the path of the coming flood waters. Especially Troy, Junior and their families, Joe and Tommy, maybe all of them. Troy and Junior don't live on the Mississippi River, but the Morganza spillway is set to open this weekend, and will flood the Atchafalaya Basin. It does not look good, and many homes will be lost.
@Stingray8854 I'm very concerned about their safety right. When all this is over and the water is back to normal, will Troy, Jr. Tommy and the others have anything to come back to? I'm going to pray for them and all the swampers. They are the salt of the earth and I'd hate for their whole way of life to be wiped out to the point where they'd have to move on.
I believe that Swamp People is the best program on the History Channel. Cajuns should be admired by all for keeping their heritage alive from one generation to another. I hope and prey that the Mississippi river flooding has very limited effect on their way of life! Thank you for posting!
@Stingray8854- I used to live in Shreveport, and I've always wanted to see Mardi Gras. My fave football team is the Saints- tried 'n true, since '82. I love jazz, like zydeco, and would kill for a good gumbo right about now. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
@Stingray8854- Who Dat Say Dey Gon' Beat Dem Saints! What I wouldn't do to get some good gator meat! Out here on the West Coast, there's nothing like that! But, I'm not gonna boude' about it. One of these days, I'll get back to Lou'siana, and then we'll see! Oudi!
I am completely in love with this show. Best on TV!! I'm from the south and proud of it, but the cajun culture is so unique! Makes me wish i was a cajun.
@stellabella82 Come and visit us here in south Louisiana some day. We have a big tourism industry, and our visitors say they have a blast here. You'll meet some of the friendliest people on Earth, eat some AMAZING Cajun food, see some BEAUTIFUL scenery (check out Avery Island, where they make Tabasco Sauce. Go to Tabasco (dot) com. Highly recommended), and have an all-around great time. As we say here in Cajun country, "Laissez les bons temps rouler!" which is "Let the good times roll!".
@MoneyHustard Well, you should pay us a visit here in south Louisiana some time. We have about a million great Cajun restaurants, and this kind of food is definitely on the menu. If you can't come to Cajun country, you can have a little bit of Cajun country shipped to you. Check out Cajun Grocer (dot) com. There's all kinds of good, AUTHENTIC, REAL-DEAL Cajun foods there, and not some chef's "interpretation". You can probably find what you see on this video, and LOTS more. It's worth a look.
I happen to be friends with a few Cajuns here & there. They are neither ignorant, nor stupid. They are generally laidback, happy-if-rowdy, all-around good people. I'd rather have a Cajun on my side in a fight than the Green Bay Packers & the Road Warriors combined!
@NeroShrinker High five at you from a card-carrying Cajun my friend! From right smack in the middle of south Louisiana Cajun country. Come on down and visit us some day. You'll have a good time!
Nothing better than swinging on the porch in the afternoons, listening to the cicadas talking. Waiting on the sunset and the mosquitoes to tell you when its time to go in at night.
I'm French-Canadian and Acadian - it's great to see our Louisiana cadien/cajun cousins doing well. I like how even the Louisiana English accent has elements of a French accent.
i can't read no more comments. ya'll are makin me homesick. i may not be from Louisiana but I grew up with the cypress trees, spanish moss, and gators just the same. now i'm land-locked and about to have a fit!!! somebody bring me a po' boy!!!
i really enjoy this show i have watched all the episodes over and over again. I am from Trinidad in the Caribbean and that way of life is quite normal for us the snakes, the insects the caiman or gators all is quite normal, we just dont hunt them for their skin or meat because ther is no market fo it here. I would love to go gatoe hunting wit you guys some day!!
@Numbah278 Yeah, "the bayou" often gets confused with the swamp. People don't know a bayou's like a small river. I'm also from "The Berry". I'd love to take someone from the "big city", who's never been here, and show them the Basin. Before sunset until after dark, so they'd hear the barred owls hooting and squawking in the cypress trees, and see the gators eyes shining red in the light. Turn off the lights a while and just listen to the "night critters" in the swamp. That would be so cool!
Wow i love to see all the positive comments!I live in New Iberia Louisiana.Anyone wanna guess what im cooking......thats right some gumbo.Lol but its not shrimp,its chicken.Btw @chibomato,i live right by the Bayou Teche but u cant live out in it.You must mean the swamps.
@The19paul68 You should be able to find one. If not, you can order it from cajungrocer(dot)com. Check it out. All sorts of other good AUTHENTIC Cajun foods there too. Worth a look.
@The19paul68 pretty much any pappadeaux, ragin cajun, razoo's. Those are the chain restaurants. But if you want something more local, just look up on google cajun restaurant and I'm sure you'll find something! They say Houston is the Cajun capital of Texas, which it is. =]
this is probably my favorite show on television. i love everything about the cajun lifestyle. good food, good people, and rich with tradition. cant wait for season 2!
@faithnomoar The accent grows on you after a while. I have no problem understanding it. Of course... I was born into it! LOL! High five at you from south Louisiana buddy! Come and visit us and we'll have you talkin' Cajun in no time!
@Xcloosivo It's true. Not trying to "toot my own horn" (well, maybe just a little. Lol!), but we Cajuns are known for our exceptional friendliness and how we LOVE a good time and good food. I went to Avery Island once (where Tabasco sauce is made) and I read the comments in the gift shop guest book. Tourists from all over the US and the world had commented not only on how the place is beautiful (it really is), but also how welcomed the locals made them feel. You should visit us here some day!
@sxc5rhcp As a south Louisiana Cajun myself, I appreciate that comment. By the way, fried gator is awesome. We have a saying about good food around here. "It's so good, it'll make you jump up and slap your mama!" LOL!
@sxc5rhcp Troy is one of the guys out there that actually work. Everyone else is just sittin on their fat asses collecting welfare. The culture is anything but vibrant.
@henbees Fried frog legs is actually pretty good. It doesn't have a strong taste, and has a consistency sort of like a fried fish fillet, or chicken. People say it "tastes like chicken" (Yeah, I know. It's a worn out cliche'), but it's true.
@fatboy65able Fried gator is very good. So is gumbo. We Cajuns also eat "normal" foods. Pot roast, mashed potatoes, meat loaf, McDonalds and Pizza Hut. Stuff people eat anywhere in America. The foods in this video are what we usally cook for weekends and "get-togethers". Some people think Cajun food is either burned black, or drowned in hot sauce. It's not like that. We like it spicy, but not always hot. Check out my channel. I have a gumbo video and some other cool stuff from "Cajun country".
man, i wish i could visit these people some day,i love fryed frog leg,s and id kinda like to try the gator, i dont no why anybody would have a problem with these people, there just liveing life just like the rest of us just in a different setting
@JoyceJeffersonTV I agree with you Brudda! I'm caucasian but I like the southern folk, My Uncle Chris lives in a small town outside Louisville, KY and I'm gonna visit him on my winter break next week and its snowing! I hope to do gator hunting sometime in the future, but I'd rather bring either a shotgun like a Mossberg 590 cruiser or even a pirate Blunderbuss or something on full auto like an AK-47 or an IMI Uzi!
@ccormier100 Thanks for the kind words. Some people see the Swamp People videos and leave hateful, insulting comments toward us Cajuns. Just to clarify things, we don't exactly have gators in our "back yard", they're mostly in the remote swamps and marshes. They do visit neighborhoods sometimes though, causing people to get nervous! Also, we do eat gator meat and wild game (deer, ducks, etc.), but for most of us, not every day. Often it's "normal" food (burgers, pizza) like you'd find anywhere.
love this show. I'm a Cajun from Canada and love that they eat what they have in their backyard(gators). Out here we eat deer, moose, bears and other little critters. From what i see on TV gators are a little more ferocious than the big moose that we have in New Brunswick, Canada. They look like good people in Louisiana. Their accents are different than ours and i like it.
For any of you interested in another look at Cajun cooking, there's a video here on YouTube called "Yum Yum Yum! (1990)". You should check it out. It's REAL, AUTHENTIC, CAJUN cooking like this. The gumbo is a little different, but as we Cajuns know there's variations of authentic Cajun gumbo. It's a really good video. You guys should check it out. The man doing the cooking is from the same small town where I grew up in south Louisiana. He's a Cajun musician and apparently a real good cook!
louisiana food is the best in the world, thats why I cook and catered because I look the creole/cajun food, btw my parents are from Opelousas and Plaisance.
@cottoncandychic Even though the cliche has been beaten to death, it actually does taste somewhat like chicken. It's really good battered and deep fried in small bite size pieces. Check out Cajun Grocer (dot) com. They sell it there along with lots of other real-deal, AUTHENTIC Cajun food. Good stuff. Not some chef's "interpretation". They ship to your door in foam containers for cold items. Some things are just heat and serve, and if you cook, there's recipes also. Well worth a look.

I just finished some EXCELLENT fried alligator bites and boulettes from one of our seafood restaurants here in town, I'm off tonight, about to get a good drink and watch LSU in the Cotton Bowl. Life is good.
@sausagenpeppaz If you do visit Louisiana, I recommend Avery Island. There's the Tabasco factory tours, Tabasco Country Store, and the Jungle Gardens. Absolutely beautiful. Lots of gators there. They're not fenced in either, and they find tourists "interesting" sometimes. It's so funny watching the little 4 footers come out of the ponds sending tourists running! Anyway, It's right by my home town, New Iberia. Lots of AWESOME Cajun food, fishing, swamp tours nearby, two hours west of New Orleans.
I'll be honest, part of me wants to live like them, eat what I catch and relax with my family, instead of fast food and not even knowing my neighbor's names.
@BlueRainsRed I didn't look at your channel / profile so I didn't see you're a girl. Please excuse my assumption. Anyway, you're welcome. I think it was a fair question. On a lighter note, and at the risk of winning any "Rolex awards" (whatever that means, someone on this thread told me they suck but I still don't have a clue what they are), have you ever tried Cajun food? It's really good stuff.
@ioport Dude he didn't attack you. He just asked you a question. So what if he said "nationality" rather than ethnic background or race. It seemed like a fair enough question. Why get hostile?
just as sure as some big city folks have never seen a tree, some folks have never watched a family together and having fun...it eats them up.....they can hardly stand it.......
wow.. i wish i could go to the south ive always wanted to go to lousiana and visit.. or new orleans.. id love to eat southern food.. :) and i hear people are much nicer.. here in my state.. are stuck up and mean..
These people seem like fun people. I'd be honored to meet one of them.

@pipEdreaM86 It depends on what part of the gator the meat comes from. There's red meat in the legs, commonly called the "dark" meat, and white meat in the tail. I've never tried the dark meat. The white tail meat is the most popular, and it's very good. If it's cleaned of the fat (NASTY stuff), the taste is somewhere between pork chops and white chicken meat. I've had some that tastes a bit like good clean fish, with no bad "fishy" taste.

@AndyHurleysChicklet7 Even if you don't come here to south Louisiana, you can still have GOOD, REAL, AUTHENTIC Cajun food shipped to you. Go to cajungrocer(dot)com. They have fried alligator that's already prepared, ready for the hot cooking oil. LOTS of other stuff too. Also check out cajunfry(dot)com. That's Troy's neighbors. Literally. Same street in Pierre Part, where Troy lives. If you can make mac and cheese, you can make this stuff. Seriously, it's easy. It's well worth a look.

@utoobfan1971 As a Cajun myself I feel exactly the same way. There's another YouTube video called Yum Yum Yum (1990), from a documentary on Cajun culture. It has Marc and Ann Savoy, Cajun musicians from Eunice. Marc talks about taking a friend from Paris out camping, and cooking couvillion in a black cast iron pot over a campfire. Having eaten at all the famous, world renowned restaurants in Paris, the friend said he'd never tasted anything with such a wonderful flavor. You should take a look.

@Spankydaham924 Dude, what the hell are you talking about? Cajuns hate spice? Where do you think Tabasco sauce comes from? Avery Island, Louisiana in Cajun country, that's where. Cajuns can't cook? Tourists who visit south Louisiana from across America and around the world disagree. And who the HELL do you think you are, bad mouthing Cajun culture? You need to get off this thread and keep your insults to yourself.

They are not sitting around watching a clock waiting on quiting time. These folks are how America used to be and why we were such a great country for so long.

@upnharlem I HIGHLY recommend visiting Avery Island. It's where Tabasco sauce is made. It's beautiful and lots of gators there. It's about 15 minutes from my house. We had a blast going crabbing there this past weekend. We didn't catch too many crabs, but we "caught" LOTS of gators! Not actually "catching" them (no hooks, just chicken wings and turkey necks tied on a line), but they'd chase our crab bait lines, thrash, pull, fight, try to steal it, then swim off. SO much fun.Video on the way.

@NATURECAMHD With all the national news covering the flood, I'm wondering how many reporters are seeing alligators for the first time. It must be amusing. I live near Avery Island, where Tabasco sauce is made. BEAUTIFUL place. The gators sun themselves, with no fences, in the tourist areas of the gardens. Some tourists must think they're tame, because they get close, take pictures, try to feed them, poke them with sticks, etc until the gator moves and the tourists RUN. Very funny.
Stingray8854 9 months ago
@NATURECAMHD It's not even 25% yet. So far, only 11 out of 125 bays of the Morganza spillway are open. I'm watching the news, and they're warning people to be aware of wildlife escaping the flood and showing up in unusual places. There's a video of three deer swimming to higher land, coming out on the levee. Lots of rabbits too. I figure some black bears will be spotted, LOTS of cottonmouth snakes, and of course alligators.
Stingray8854 9 months ago
@NATURECAMHD I'm sure they'll come back. Even if they have to rebuild. If there's any good news, it's that at noon today, only 25% of the spillway was open, instead of 50%, which must have been planned. The water hasn't risen as fast as expected, and looks like maybe the ground is absorbing some of it. At least that should buy a little more time to evacuate and sandbag homes. If you're interested, go to KLFY(dot)com, and KATC(dot)com.
Stingray8854 9 months ago
@threeseamless As a Cajun, I thank you for the nice comment. I'm afraid, however, that most of these guys on the show are directly in the path of the coming flood waters. Especially Troy, Junior and their families, Joe and Tommy, maybe all of them. Troy and Junior don't live on the Mississippi River, but the Morganza spillway is set to open this weekend, and will flood the Atchafalaya Basin. It does not look good, and many homes will be lost.
Stingray8854 9 months ago
@Stingray8854 I'm very concerned about their safety right. When all this is over and the water is back to normal, will Troy, Jr. Tommy and the others have anything to come back to? I'm going to pray for them and all the swampers. They are the salt of the earth and I'd hate for their whole way of life to be wiped out to the point where they'd have to move on.

@Numbah278 Yeah, "the bayou" often gets confused with the swamp. People don't know a bayou's like a small river. I'm also from "The Berry". I'd love to take someone from the "big city", who's never been here, and show them the Basin. Before sunset until after dark, so they'd hear the barred owls hooting and squawking in the cypress trees, and see the gators eyes shining red in the light. Turn off the lights a while and just listen to the "night critters" in the swamp. That would be so cool!

@fatboy65able Fried gator is very good. So is gumbo. We Cajuns also eat "normal" foods. Pot roast, mashed potatoes, meat loaf, McDonalds and Pizza Hut. Stuff people eat anywhere in America. The foods in this video are what we usally cook for weekends and "get-togethers". Some people think Cajun food is either burned black, or drowned in hot sauce. It's not like that. We like it spicy, but not always hot. Check out my channel. I have a gumbo video and some other cool stuff from "Cajun country".

@ccormier100 Thanks for the kind words. Some people see the Swamp People videos and leave hateful, insulting comments toward us Cajuns. Just to clarify things, we don't exactly have gators in our "back yard", they're mostly in the remote swamps and marshes. They do visit neighborhoods sometimes though, causing people to get nervous! Also, we do eat gator meat and wild game (deer, ducks, etc.), but for most of us, not every day. Often it's "normal" food (burgers, pizza) like you'd find anywhere.
Stingray8854 1 year ago 16
love this show. I'm a Cajun from Canada and love that they eat what they have in their backyard(gators). Out here we eat deer, moose, bears and other little critters. From what i see on TV gators are a little more ferocious than the big moose that we have in New Brunswick, Canada. They look like good people in Louisiana. Their accents are different than ours and i like it.

For any of you interested in another look at Cajun cooking, there's a video here on YouTube called "Yum Yum Yum! (1990)". You should check it out. It's REAL, AUTHENTIC, CAJUN cooking like this. The gumbo is a little different, but as we Cajuns know there's variations of authentic Cajun gumbo. It's a really good video. You guys should check it out. The man doing the cooking is from the same small town where I grew up in south Louisiana. He's a Cajun musician and apparently a real good cook!

@sausagenpeppaz If you do visit Louisiana, I recommend Avery Island. There's the Tabasco factory tours, Tabasco Country Store, and the Jungle Gardens. Absolutely beautiful. Lots of gators there. They're not fenced in either, and they find tourists "interesting" sometimes. It's so funny watching the little 4 footers come out of the ponds sending tourists running! Anyway, It's right by my home town, New Iberia. Lots of AWESOME Cajun food, fishing, swamp tours nearby, two hours west of New Orleans.
