It was quite far from our place and not the best neighborhood, but we wanted to go somewhere. Around seven o’clock a line formed for the small buffet which offered coleslaw, chicken with a herbal bread crust and pasta with mayonnaise and ham. Waiting in the line we started to chat with the man in front of us; Jack became one of our key informants.

Like a language or an art, a living cuisine borrows, assimilates, ex­ pands. With a population so multilingual, Creole cooking has been modified with the years. A Frenchman has married an Italian girl; some Jugoslavs move into the French section; a German cousin comes to live with the Creole family- and each adds something. Take my family as an example. Though it is of Irish descent, the present generation grew up on gumbo and cafe au lait. We like jambalaya as thoroughly as any Creoles do, but we also enjoy Italian stuffed artichokes, as well as an emphatic crab mixture suggested by a Dalmatian friend from the lower Delta.

Local Getaways See also: • Local Getaways • Portland Dining • New Orleans cuisine • Vietnamese Cuisine Whether you are looking for excellent Vietnamese food, New Orleans style Cajun or Creole food, you'll be delighted with the creations of Tapalaya's Chef Anh Luu. (Elizabeth R. Rose) Elizabeth R. Rose Portland's Tapalaya: Vietnamese-influenced New Orleans cuisine delights Signature cocktails such as The Hurricane, festive colors, beads and masks may entice you to enter the New Orleans experience found at Portland's Tapalaya, but it's the surprising multi- cultural cuisine that will keep you coming back. Tapalaya beautifully reflects New Orleans' rich cultural traditions and now features Asian-Cajun dishes in an updated, exciting tapas menu. Why New Orleans Cuisine is Special New Orleans, the famous Gulf Coast city, certainly reflects the traditions of the French who settled the area in the 1700's. But that is only part of the story. It is said that the local indigenous people bartered with colonial French settlers for European trade goods and, in turn, introduced the French to locally-grown foods and herbs, including corn, beans, squash, pumpkins, and melons. Add in the shellfish and wild game and the tradition of Creole cuisine was born. Africans came as slaves to Louisiana. Their food traditions had a lasting influence on Creole cuisine, starting with the introduction of okra and gumbo, derived from West African “gombo” stew made with okra. And then there were the French Acadians who were given land grants up the Mississippi from New Orleans and moved into the swamps, bayous, and prairies of Louisiana to farm the land.

We were still unable to return to New Orleans and I wanted to make a dish that would remind everyone of home. Red beans and rice, with some nice smoky sausage, seemed like just the thing to please adults and children alike. It was late afternoon and I did not have the three or four hours I needed to make the dish properly, but I figured that that would not be a problem.
