First is a corn dish I haven't had since I moved away from Louisiana in 1996. It's called corn maque choux. I'm not sure what's in it (probably corn, red and green peppers, cream, butter, some other stufkf), but I feel confident it's as bad for you as it is delicious.
Here is pecan candy. I was really old, maybe in college, when I found out the rest of the world knew pecan candy by its fancier French name, praline. I may have eaten my weight in pecan candy over the last week.
My beloved boudin (rice and pork sausage). if I were still living here, my family would have to have an intervention. We made friends with the guy at the corner store on the country road where my mother lives. That's how many links of boudin I've eaten.
This is stuffed bread. I'm not sure what stuffed bread is stuffed with (it never occurred to me to ask until just now; probably meat and spices). 
And this is a guy who works at Fricken Chicken in Baton Rouge. Here's a brief transcript of our exhange:
Guy: Welcome to Fricken Chicken. May I take your fricken order?
My sister: We would like the 12 piece family meal with fries and rice dressing.
Guy: We're no longer serving the rice dressing. The recipe was no fricken good.
Me: (uncontrollable laughter)
Guy: Your total is $20.70. Please drive to the fricken window.
I was so amused that I went through the drive through again.

spectacular food photos! You should do a piece for Gourmet -- or Road Food Good Food. Ok, my stupid question -- so the rice is in the sausage with the boudin? There is no rice in the photo. What happens to rice when it is in the sausage? What are you bringing home?
Yum! I want some Fricken Chicken (and I wouldn't say no to the stuffed bread ...).
Man, I need that. Cracked me up.
> Welcome to Fricken Chicken. May I take your fricken order?
That right there is pure marketing genius. Absolute genius.
