In this episode of Big Easy Life we start our NOLA A, B, Cs and give you some background on our unique language A Andouille (AHN-do-ee) When you come to town you’ll want good food and without a doubt you’ll see this sausage on the menus. It’s French in origin, and was brought to the United States through Louisiana by many of its French immigrants. It is easiest described as a spiced pork smoked sausage and mighty tasty. B Ball A Mardi Gras krewe's formal event and dance First being held in 1857 by the krewe of Comus Banquette (bang-KET) - In the early days, city blocks were called islands, (possibly because the streets regularly filled with water) and they had little dirt mounds or banks around them. Logically, the French called them banquettes; and sidewalks are still so called in New Orleans by an older part of the population and history geeks like me. Bayou (BY-you) - a small stream with a slow current normally flowing out of the marsh but the fun part is this English word is a twist on a French interpretation of a Choctaw word for the same thing. To the local natives it was called a bayuk…… Beignets (ben-YEYZ) – I don’t have to do this one right?.......... Go over to Big Easy Life channel and I have a hole show on it. Big Easy This is of course one of the MANY nicknames given to New Orleans. So how did the city get this nickname? In the early 1900s there was a dance hall in New Orleans called “The Big Easy.” But the nickname didn’t become famous until the early 1970s. That was when a Louisiana newspaper writer began calling New Orleans by this name. She compared the easy-going way of life there to the hurried pace of life in New York City. The movie your thinking of did not come out until 1987……just sayin Bisque (bisk) - a thick, cream-, milk- or tomato-based shellfish soup usually made with crawfish, shrimp, crab or oysters. It’s an old French thing we stole Blackened - spice-coated fish or meat that is seared quickly (but not burnt) in butter in a cast iron skillet to create a crunchy outer coating. The man that made this famous as well as popular was Chef Paul Prudhomme Boeuf Gras The fated bull; a Lenten symbol of the last meat eaten before a season of fasting. It was a prominent figure in France as early as 1512. A live bull walked the route of Rex until 1901…..Now we have the amazing float which returned in 1959 Boucherie (BOO-shuh-ree) - a community butchering where several families (mostly in the Cajun communities)brought animals, usually pigs, to be slaughtered. Each family processes a different cut of meat, making sausage, ham, boudin, chops and head cheese. Each gets a share of the yield. This was traditionally done in the late fall to provide meat during winter months. Boudin (BOO-dan) - a Cajun sausage filled with spicy meat and rice. It can be a blood type (noir) or a white type (blanc) Bourre (BOO-ray) - French for stuffed, it is the name of a Cajun card game which requires the loser of each hand to stuff the pot with chips….
