Not going to point out the obvious Louisiana food supremacies and instead point out how they think they invented season salt and then subsequently don't believe they can buy Tony's at a grocery store in the Midwest.

Although I blame the national availability of Tony's for less chance to make Essence of Emeril jokes like it's cum. Bam!

They look like they'd be really dry

It's basically just a white bread roll, a little less dense I guess. But have you had a sausage from Texas or Louisiana? Tend to be self lubricating. You'll soak the thing through after nibbling the tip. Though there's a few gas stations who'll do them up in more pastry like bread if you're allergic to white bread.

No but seriously, can everyone from Middle America stop talking about pizza? It's the most consistently mood destroying material in these threads.

Like jesus christ "Really good for gas station food!", this is some French art film levels of crushing depression.

If you cant get really good food from a gas station, that's really depressing.

Get a nice plate lunch, some gas, and a 40. It's heaven.

somebody already covered hoppin' John, but since Carolina Gold and Sean Brock got mentioned above, reading his recipe fixed this dish for me. making it with cow peas and CG rice makes a delicious thing that's not the weird mush it normally is

Hoppin Johnbalaya is really good too. Cajun sausage in addition to or instead of the hamhock, throw in some chicken if you're feeling meaty, chicken or duck stock, cajun seasoning and hot sauce, then when the beans are nearly done infuse all the rice in the same broth as the beans. Top with BBQ shrimps if you want the kitchen sink version. Alternately you can also just do a slow cooker/rice cooker jamba and mix beans in but that's more of a beany jambalaya than a johnbalaya.

BBQ shrimps is one of the worst named dishes. They're shrimps pan fried in butter with cajun and/or creole seasoning. Don't ask.
