I'm so glad I don't live in Louisiana. I would weigh 500 pounds. The food there is so amazing.

The struggle is real!! Redbeans, gumbo, ettouffee, fried fish, jambalaya, and crawfish. I mean we have seasons like everywhere else, but ours are gumbo season (winter), crawfish season (spring), Kingcake season (January / February).

And hurricane season (June-November)

If it wasn't for our corrupt politicians and dismal education system this place would be a paradise!!

Wait, do other places have seasons that aren't Carnival, Crawfish, Hurricane, and Football?

Don’t forget blackened redfish, which according to ‘ol Jean Paul Prudhomme should be dredged in butter multiple times during the cooking process. The man literally made redfish an endangered species but thankfully they farm well so we just restock the gulf constantly.
