I went with my cousin to Acadiana Saturday night. I had the turtle soup, pan crisped roasted duck, and an abita root beer float for dessert. The soup was okay. I've had better. I was really hoping it would be great, so I could tell everybody how great it was. Time after time when I told people that I would be having turtle soup, I was treated to looks of horror at the very idea of eating the poor things. I put them ahead of alligator, but maybe behind frog's legs. Depends on the frog.
The duck was really excellent. Crispy skin, juicy meat (important, because I tend to think that duck is pretty dry), and in between a thin layer of greasy fat. Put it all together, and you get mmmmmmmmmmmm. The dessert was okay. I'm not sure what I'm getting next. Probably gumbo to start, then bbq shrimp. We'll see.
The waitress got "Natchitoches" right, then tested me on "Tchoupitoulas".
I had a drink while I was waiting for my cousin to arrive. Nine dollars and eight cents without the tip. Holy Toledo. At SOTW, that drink costs me about five fifty, if it costs anything at all. I may try one of their menu drinks next time I'm there . Surely it can't cost more than nine bucks, n'est-ce pas?
I may try a Louisiana Purchase drink next time I'm there.
