We had an absolute blast on Saturday at the Ragin Cajuns, homecoming tailgating party! As far as the eye could see, there were Cajun delicacies, cooking, grilling, and simmering. It was pure tailgate heaven and the Cajun spirit was greatly evident at every tent! Oh, cest bon, cher! So many divinely delicious concoctions that it boggled the mind! Here were a few of my faves.
These two guys at the Iberia Bank tent really had it going on, with these succulent ribs. And the smothered potatoes with tasso and sausage were out of this world! Poo-yie, cher!
Big pots of Cajun delights were everywhere, but this one with chicken and sausage jambalaya was my favorite! This guy really knew what he was doing and had it seasoned just right. Cest bon, cher!
And this pot of red beans and sausage got my vote, too! Lots of flavor in this pot too!
The guys at this tent were having a cochan de lait ( a Cajun pig roast) and roasted a whole pig! Here is the chef, preparing the pork for serving. It was out of this world and the Cajun rice dressing and baked beans were fabulous!
This one was grilling some chicken wings and pork steaks! Lawd have mercy, they were good!
And what would a Cajun tailgating party be without a little music and dancing! The great "Louisiana Red" band was entertaining the crowd with their super rock n' roll show..
Louisiana Red
I ate a sample at each booth so I was thoroughly stuffed by the time I got to the dance area, but trust me, I walked, danced, and sweated off every calorie and was starving by the time the game was over!! Oh the life of a Cajun is so much fun!
