    You want the really weird I can give you that to, down here we eat nutria. Basically water rats. I have no problem insulting our cuisine, but as a green ball once said " if you are going to insult me do it properly"

          Tourists cannot pronounce most of the street names here and we’re fine with it. Make tourists learn new vocabulary, or at least believe they’re visiting a different country or something. If you call it cheesecake, expect them to think of it as cheesecake.

            Thanks, Poindexter. I’m not the guy that named it though.

              Me neither, so anyone saying I should insult them correctly when someone local to NOLA named it cheesecake needs to reevaluate something.

                  The restaurant the photo is from is in New Orleans. That’s the entire basis of the statement. Got that?

                    Yes but you are saying that Louisiana cuisine only comes from NOLA and claimed I was a NOLA resident both of which are wrong.
