Love Louisiana being from a Cajun family that goes back to the 1600s in Louisiana you are very correct we need to preserve Cajun and Creole heritage shah
Portuguese ... interesting. I traced my family to england and france, but a few of us have pacific islander? or native american? traits. Maybe, it's portuguese. Relatives mainly from plaucheville to new orleans. Tight circle. Glad i stumbled on this channel. All of the sudden, I'm interested in this state's history and culture, and here you are.
I have reason to believe I know who it was, but I’ll never tell! hahaha But OMG, did you see they completely removed the Lick Da Fess wall?!?! I was devastated when went there to see it after not living down the bayou for years and it wasn’t even there. 😢
@@Louisianish it has moved. When the road forks, stay to the right. You’ll run upon it. The wife and I took pictures near it just a couple of months ago.
I love that place where my wife is from I'm trying to work it out so I can move down and retire course I'll probably still have to work at a shipyard but that's fine
I don’t know why folks want to call it “Cajun bayou” when folks in Lafourche are a mix of many peoples that include the French, Québécois, Acadian, Spanish, German etc. Even Larose is named after someone of Portuguese descent. The real term should be Créole, not Cajun. Créole covers everybody.
You’re not wrong, my friend! It is, in fact, the Creole Bayou; however, I believe the term is in reference to the mostly Cajun food, whereas “Creole food” involves tomatoes, which doesn’t exist in Cajun food.
@@LouisianaDread Mais bougre, it’s all Creole food! Cajuns are white Louisiana Creoles that adopted the name Cajun in the 1960’s during the Cajun Renaissance. Before that, those same families that identify as Cajun now identified as Creole then. The food that Cajun-identified folks cook is Creole food. It’s a multicultural food cuisine that has influences from white Creoles, black Creoles and mixed race Creoles. Even influences from Native Americans who themselves are not Creoles. Creole = “non-indigenous native-born local people of any race or ancestry, their culture and cuisine”. We are all Créoles and so is our cuisine and culture. All of it, all that is south Louisiana is Creole.
@@LouisianaDread Oh, I wanted to add that I’m a Chef and Food Historian from south Louisiana and I wanted to comment on the tomato thing because it relates to my profession. Tomatoes in the food is a regional thing rather than being Creole vs Cajun (Cajuns are Creoles too). In reality, it’s Greater New Orleans area (tomato forward) vs Acadiana area (not tomato forward). However, there are exceptions to this as some areas of Greater New Orleans make brown jambalayas and no tomatoes in a gumbo while some areas of Acadiana make red jambalayas and adds tomato in gumbo. But for the most part, the majorities in these two areas stick to the pattern I describe here.
There are a lot of folks down here who identify as Cajuns, but who are actually descendants of Portugese, Spanish, Italian, Colonial French, and German settlers. There is no shame in celebrating your actual heritage. While my father was a genuine Cajun descended from those who were expelled from Canada by the English, my mom was Scots-Irish. Imagine my surprise recently, when I learned by virtue of a DNA test, that I am, genetically speaking, only 9% Cajun. I actually have not only a smidge of Portugese blood, but also I'm 12% Italian! Boy our ancestors got around, eh?
At this point, what we know today as Cajuns are so far removed from their ancestral home and Acadian culture that they have developed their own unique culture and lifestyle. This would necessitate the intermarrying of people with African, native, and European lineage. I find it hard to believe that a DNA test would specifically say “you’re x% Cajun”. I’d like to take that test to find out more.

My last name is Plauche I grew up in bourg la
Awesome segment! Yet the mystery still remains… who wrote “lick da fess” on the sea wall?!
The world may never know but it is cultural to say the least.
You know
I have reason to believe I know who it was, but I’ll never tell! hahaha

My Husbands family was a part of this history!!! They brought food from La rose to Nola!!! Portera’s
Yes indeed! A very storied history for the people living that down the bayou life! Thank you for sharing!
5:00 Miss Elaine's, Larose's tastiest landmark.
I lived across the street haha it’s the best snowball!
LOL, I ran out of gasoline at the top of the old Intracoastal Bridge. People behind me were not happy. My dad had to bring some in a gas can.
You were so close to a gas station right there at GeauxBears hahaha
@@LouisianaDread I don't think GeauxBears was open. This was in the 1970's. 😀
I love that place where my wife is from I'm trying to work it out so I can move down and retire course I'll probably still have to work at a shipyard but that's fine
There are ample shipyards around but it’s a beautiful place to retire!
hi honey! it's beautiful in Larose. i do like Chattanooga too.
that’s a great fishing spot you in there T
Thats what i hear
Can you do Raceland and the sugar mill unions?
Already done! Look in our Bayou Lafourche playlist and you’ll find Raceland!
It's Larose/ CutOff - The "Twin Cities."

No mention of Harry’s Poboys 😢
That’ll be in the next video lol
Isnt there a Civil War fort there?
There is not. The fighting didn’t come that far south on the bayou.
