Problem:
Louisiana festivals place great emphasis on the preparation of food as one of the arts of the food culture. There are certain seasonings and/or marinades required when preparing meat in Louisiana dishes. It is even common for dishes to have meats marinated for lengthy periods to enhance the flavor. Some meats are usually cooked separately before being incorporated into dishes. Cajun/Creole seasonings consist of black pepper, salt, red pepper, and garlic, which are commonly used in Louisiana dishes. It varies from region to region how seasonings are made. Louisiana dishes should always be prepared according to the recipe, as any deviation from it can ruin the entire dish.
