Elements Of Authentic Cajun Restaurants Avon By The Sea

By Jennifer Bell


Southern State cooking and meals are something that are seen as unique and adventurous to some gourmands and foodies. Most are intrigued by the French and Cajun style dishes that are getting quite a lot of airtime on television and cable lately. When doing a google search for Cajun restaurants Avon By The Sea, you will get quite a few and respectable number of hits and results.

Before perusing your search results, you should know the difference between what is Cajun and Creole food. This is because many a Louisiana dweller or New Orleans citizen will cringe when people use these two words interchangeably. In effect, Creole cooking or fare is something that incorporates a variety of complex sauces with recipes coming from aristocratic old Europe, whilst Cajun fare, the one you are after, are dishes that have been invented using the ingredients found in the Louisiana bayous and marshes.

Many of the restaurants that you will get from the internet via your search will have non French or non Creole Cajun sounding names. One of them in fact may even be a German restaurant which serves only a little of this kind of food, being really a mix bistro that sells a lot of things. Do not judge a book by its cover when it comes to names, but rather read the menu.

Gumbo is a must have on any menu and no upright person from Louisiana will say this should be omitted from the menu. Gumbo is basically the flagship of Cajun fare just as people will say the hamburger is the flagship of regular American fare or even the lowly hotdog. A rule of thumb for gumbo is the muddier the sauce or roux, the yummier and better it is.

Exotic and kind of weird dishes also exist in this kind of Louisiana fare. You should get a fair amount of frog legs and especially alligator meat all cooked up in different ways, which can include being fried, baked or stewed even. Wild game such as rabbit and even deer will make it into a Cajun menu. Be on the lookout also for a majority of dishes which will be a bit spicy as a lot of cayenne pepper is usually used in these recipes.

Should you feel menus are not the real indicators then do look at local forums that bring Louisiana and New Orleans folk together and try to get in a conversation about this kind of food. More likely than not they will point you in the right direction as to where to sample their favorites.

Should you somehow find a place that is not covered online or existing in an review columns, then do visit it and gauge its genuine character by using a checklist using the elements found in this article. Who knows you may become an expert on this or other establishments that have not yet been reported online.

Now that you have the way of separating the good from the bad in terms of these dishes, do go forth and explore and enjoy. And let everyone know about your adventure in Avon By The Sea.
