in Baton Rouge, not sure of the name, great Boudin. Then there is stuffed chicken, stuffed duck, turkey, shrimp, crawfish boils. We had too much fun living in Baton Rouge. | |

My first wife is from Biloxi and I ate boudins made by her grandmother. My favorite PoBoys were the shrimp PoBoys. | |

Posted: 7/12/2009 6:31:00 PM | Hi Nancy Im guilty of butchering the language too. Being from Ohio one would think there is no accent. But instead of soda I say pop, instead of dishes it comes out like deeshes. Or wash with an r.
I worked with some people frpm Ky. when I was 17-about 25. Man they could butcher any thing. One woman said "I looked good with ma har cut." Then Get that wair thar.(wire)
I thought I never had an accent but maybe I do. Rex | |

Those southern boys with sweet smiles (yes he had all of his teeth), lips you could kiss forever, and eyes you could drown in. For all I knew he could have been asking me to jump off a bridge. | |
