    Nathan G.B. Smith This is how most all of our food is down here in South Louisiana, the next day it’s better. That’s because most of what we cook is in one pot and some sort of stew, soup or gravy and by the next day the flavors got to marry and it tastes way better. My mama used to make a gumbo the day before she served it and it was always way better the next day.

    ​ Note to 'Gator 1699' - Cajun is NOT "the same as Macedonian"! Shame on you! >;- ) I'm sitting here in Maine, watching "The Cajun Chef" make his sauce piquant and missing home....and wishing he were here to cook for me! Excellent recipe and can't wait to try making mine just as you did yours! Please move to Portland, Maine and help me open a tiny hole-in-the-wall joint. These people up here think "Cajun" is waffles and shrimp! LAWD!! ;-)

There are other kinds of sausage like fresh sausages like fresh pork sausage or like hot sausage/hot links. I’m not sure what you mean by Cajun sausage. We don’t have a sausage called Cajun sausage.

    My family got the majority of this recipe from an old Paul Prudhomme cookbook. So no I'm not from Texas. I was born and raised in Lafayette Louisiana. People have several different takes on how to make it. I can't tell you which one is better. I can only ask that you try my recipe first.

    Laura Deshotel Some people make a sauce piquant without a roux. My mother’s family uses a roux for sauce piquant, but I’ve seen some people do it similar to this. It’s closer to a chicken creole, but still very good. I’m from South Louisiana and I’ve eaten enough recipes from family and friends to know everybody has their own recipe and they may not all be the same way. I’ve even seen some folks put green olives in a sauce piquant. Just depends on the family and area of Louisiana as to what goes in the pot.
