Cajun French: la poule d’eau (la pool doo) – water hen (a coot)
A poule d’eau is a wild game bird or small duck, a hen of the water. The bird is also known as the American Coot. These small birds are excellent for use in gumbo. No longer eating animal meat, we consider the poule d’eau in that category; we are giving you a recipe from Bayou Blue, LA. Bayou Blue is located in coastal Louisiana known for great hunting, fishing and cooking.
Mais C’est Bon!
Enjoy!!
