I think the primary New Orleans influences are European and African, but IAC, I think the Viet use of Creole-style coffee is more a simple matter of taste preference. Chicory coffee (Creole-style) is common down here and many cultures drink it, so the fact that they found it is hardly special. What I find interesting is that they took to it almost completely - in fact, I've never had iced coffee in a Viet establishment or home anywhere from Texas to Florida that wasn't made with Creole-style chicory coffee, yet Viet coffee (IOW, coffee from and/or sold in Viet Nam) isn't really blended with chicory or much like the Creole coffee.

Hmm, I' m afraid you're almost certainly right. But I did like the notion of French coffee, mixed with chicory, spreading westwards through Senagal and the slave states and then across the Atlantic, and also spreading eastwards, with the foreign legion to Indo-china, and finally meeting itself in the opposite direction, right around the globe, through a series of bizarre accidents, in New Orleans.........

Well, if it makes you feel better (and restores your sense of romantic Kiplingesque culinary adventures), they did bring their interpretation of "French bread" with them, and it is remarkably similar to New Orleans-style "French bread" - a _really_ airy, lightweight (a 3-foot/1 meter loaf is about 8 oz.), crispy-crust baguette-shaped type of thing.

Wolfgang who, if so, would like his served with a slice of "Real Creole®" "authentic" cheesecake. ![]() - Show quoted text - You need to get this book -it's obvious you don't know **** from wild honey about cooking or food. True, true. However, I'm about 20 pages from finishing "Robbing the Bees: A Biography of Honey--The Sweet Liquid Gold that Seduced the World" by Holley Bishop, so I'm pretty much up to speed on the domestic stuff. ![]() http://www.amazon.com/Bull-Authentic...s/dp/088001390 7 The creols didn't invent cheesecake the Belgians did. Probably, it was Leopold himself. Used all the hands he had cut off the Congolese instead of cream cheese, would be my guess. Well, that would explain dicklet's devotion, anyway. In fact they invented everything. They could well have stopped before they got around to the Irish. Would have saved the whole world a lot of embarassment. All German, French, Creole and other reciepies are just *******ations of original Belgian recipies. Creoles, unlike the rest of the world (if we are to give credence to an unimpeachable authority.....um......excuse me, "THE" unimpeachable authority), don't use recipes to cook the few simple things that they have cooked every day of their lives, mirabile dictu! I don't have my copy handy but I'll bet it has the real scoop on roasting coffee as well Herter's untimely death is generally viewed as a great blow to humanity. Big deal, sez I, we got Usenet.....and dicklet! Wolfgang anybody got a good recipe for authentic "Real Creole®" gefilte fish? Asswipe |

At least Little Wolfie has the stones to post his nastiness under his own name. So long as you post anonymously you will never, nor should you ever, be taken seriously. Besides which Little Wolfie is easily ignored and ignoring him is far better than emulating him, especially when you attempt to emulate him anonymously. In short, **** off and die you anonymous piece of ****. -- Ken Fortenberry - we really need a new bouncer around here |
