I love New Orleans - a list by debegray

Options for This Page

About this list:

The coolest city in the world. I hope it returns. If you want to make a displaced New Orleanian feel more at home, make them some real New Orleans coffee with chicory and a muffaletta or some gumbo or red beans and rice (hard to choose) and put on some jazz or find a street performer with a trumpet.

Qualifications:

I love, love, love New Orleans.

New Orleans Blend Coffee with Chicory from Community Coffee

First to recommend

Description

Another of the quintessential New Orleans coffee brands. You can get it without chicory, but then it's not exactly New Orleans style.

Crystal Hot Sauce

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

For the most part, Louisiana-style hot sauces come down to a very few ingredients: vinegar, peppers and salt. Still, I think some hot sauces are better than others, and this is my favorite.

Cafe Du Monde Beignet Mix

First to recommend

Description

I have no idea why New Orleanians don't all weigh three hundred pounds with these incredible goodies so close by. If you can't get there in person, this is the next best thing.

Yummy. You can make dirty rice yourself, but this is a good alternative.

Red Beans Rice Recipes

First to recommend

Description

There are few things that say New Orleans more than red beans and rice. There are many variations, and fierce battles over which is the original and/or best. You know what? It's all good (as long as you eat it on Monday).

Maybe you can't make one that's as mouthwatering as Central Grocery's, but it's still going to be good.
