I know how school can make your time limited. I must say that, un-true to my Southern roots, I don't like figs. I do enjoy crab cakes but haven't had a good one in a while. I may just have to find somewhere that offers one! Glad you got to do the list! I know how school can make your time limited. I must say that, un-true to my Southern roots, I don’t like figs.

They are truly a real treat. And you *are* lucky to be able to get such fresh seafood! I’m with you on the crab cakes. They are truly a real treat.

Strangely the only thing on it I've tried is the crawfish boil! I'm with Tanna - I'd love to come over and have some of your fried chicken and crab cakes, with maybe a raw fig for dessert.

Having relocated from New Orleans to Atlanta a few years ago, it's like a little touch of home. This post made me think of so many different things from my childhood: The delicious fig tree in my paternal grandmother's backyard in Morgan City, La., the amazing crabcakes my maternal grandmother in Larose, La., used to make, my aunt joyce's delicious fried chicken recipe from the bayou, and my dad's crawfish boils under the carport. Usually, we caught them ourselves, and my job was to make sure that any crawfish that escaped from the pot were put back in. Despite their availability I've managed to never have an oyster though! Kind of embarassing! Great memories....Thank you! I’ve been reading your blog for a while now and love it.

I love everything on it. Funny how fried chicken is such a "particular" food. If you grew up with it, it's got to be that one way. Nothing else comes close. I'd love to come over (wouldn't it be come over from Dallas) and pull up a bench and enjoy each one of those foods with you. And figs, every year I help my self to figs from a neighborhood tree - actually the lady puts up a sign - Help Your self! what a treat. Fabulous list. I love everything on it.

He taught me about oysters and then oysters became "our" food - as no one else would come near them.. I loved going for oysters with him :D I'm agreeing with almost everything in your top 5.. figs - love 'em!, southern fried chicken - *swoon*, crawfish boil - never had it, but I will try - have wanted to experience it for years! I've never had a good crab cake, so I'm kind of squicked by them - I know though, that I just need to find a place that makes authentic crab cakes and I'm sure my opinion would change because I love crabmeat. Go figure ;) Great list! My dad too! He taught me about oysters and then oysters became “our” food - as no one else would come near them.. I loved going for oysters with him :D
