Let’s Eat Cake – Boudin King Cake

Cajun French: pétrir (pā-treer) – knead

 

IMG_6803Cajuns are an adaptable people. We take what the area offers and make it our own. So we wonder why it took not only a non-Cajun, but also a non-native Louisianan to develop the Boudin King Cake. Granted Dr. Boudin (Bob Carriker) has been living in the Lafayette area since 1997; he is not native. He calls Louisiana home and has come to embrace our culture and food. In honor of Dr. Boudin and his Boudin King Cake, we have made our own, adapting it to our tastes.

One bread recipe will make a very large king cake. We made ours in our Dutch oven so we adjusted for the size of our pot.

Second Day of Christmas – 2 voodoo dolls

Cajun French: gris-gris (gree gree) – spell or charm

boudin (boo-dahn) – Cajun sausage

 

Voodoo is a religion practiced mainly in the Caribbean and also has a presence in New Orleans and south Louisiana. Although it is a religion, Voodoo also means a charm, spell, fetish, or curse which holds magical power. The Voodoo Doll represents the spirit of a specific person. One can talk to the doll as if talking to the person and have influences over that person – good or evil. In Cajun Louisiana we call putting spells on someone; putting the gris-gris on them.
