The “eggs” are mung bean based and were by far the best of the imitation proteins- I really liked them, but I would not eat the “bacon” or sausages again. I’m against imitation meats on a conceptual level and trying to tackle the complexities of bacon is just setting yourself up for failure. I’m very excited for lab grown meat and even there I think bacon will be one of the hardest to get right.

Louisianan food is something I've been interested in for a while now. I tried crawfish a few times and they were pretty great. Not sure if this has anything to do with Louisianan food but I also liked Zapp's dill chips. Oddly enough I abhor actual pickles lol.

It's not something I'd like to eat everyday, but it does bring me back to my childhood smelling this stuff cooking like it would have been in mawmaws house.

Wow so a poached egg? I like this and sure the yolk helps to cream up the gumbo which is why I like the potato salad instead of rice! Sounded so weird and then my friends from Arnaudville insisted. I was hooked! This reminds me of a brunch dish I had at Commander’s so there’s no doubt I’d love it!

Actually neither. So this is a dish that I haven't found other than from my area in Louisiana. Story has it, originally the dish would not have contained the smoke sausage I added, because it began as a lenten dish for those who could afford seafood during lent (alot of catholics in this area)... So instead of meat they would poach eggs in it as a protein to supplement with the red bean. This may not be the traditional way of cooking it, but the smoked sausage does add a bit more to the dish imo
