Cajun Food Where You Find It
Cajun French: la peche (la pesh) – peach
The fridge is still over stocked with beer and we are having fun cooking with the beer. Having some fruit that needed eating, we decided to make cobbler. We usually use premade pie crust for our cobbler and finding none the imagination kicked in. Sweet Potato Biscuits, why not use the batter for the cobbler topping? And why not use beer for the liquid? Why not for sure; it is fantastic!
Mais C’est Bon!

Cajun French: la patate douce (la pa-tat doos) – sweet potato
Abita Jockamo IPA (India Pale Ale) is an excellent beer, reminding us of the many European beers we enjoyed while living in Germany. Although we enjoy beer, it is not something we drink every day. Yet somehow we always seem to have various types in the refrigerator mainly due to friends bringing over beer and leaving what’s left in our fridge. Finding Jockamo IPA, we decided to give it a try with Bruce’s Sweet Potato Pancake Mix and it was a great marriage.
“Jockamo is named for the tribes of dancing, singing, chanting “Mardi Gras Indians” who have marched in New Orleans for over 250 years.” When you taste this dish you will hear the drums and start singing “Iko! Iko!…Jockamo feena nay”.

Cajun French: la bière (la bee-air) – beer
Beer Biscuits had been on our list of things to make and we decided to make it Cajun – Abita Beer and Sweet Potato Biscuits!
Ok, that settled now how to serve the biscuits – with poached eggs. Ok, we need more than just eggs. We decided to jazz it up with fresh lump crabmeat and a lemon dill sauce.
This dish could not only be served for breakfast but also for brunch.
Mais C’est Bon!
Enjoy!!
