"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
This recipe came from the New Orleans School of Cooking. This is a huge recipe but easily cut down. I have made if for Mardi Gras events at church. At home I serve it with a salad.
Joe's stuff is a cajun spice blend sold at the New Orleans Cooking School, I believe it can be ordered on-line, but I have used other cajun seasonings and it turns out just fine. Note: Spicy is a blend of spices, hot should be added at the table.
