Cajun Egg Rolls?
ml...@net-connect.net
At Festival International de la Louisiane in Lafayette I tried
something called "Cajun Egg Rolls". This was basically Seafood
Jambalaya wrapped in an egg roll wrapper and deep-fried, served with
cocktail sauce.
It was very very very good...but was this something they just made up
for the occasion? Is there a cajun culinary tradition involving
deep-frying rice-based dishes in a dumpling-like wrapper?

If you go to just about any local SW Louisiana festival, I think
you'll find these for sale.
I've been seeing them at various festivals ( Frog, Duck, Rice,
Island Fete...) for the last 3 or 4 years...
Just another fast-food innovation...

Go to Soileau's Dinner Club in Opelousas, LA and order the stuffed
peppers. They are absolutely outstanding. I have had both the seafood and
the rice dressing and basically they are stuffed bell pepper halves which
are then battered and deep fried. There's a secret to keeping the batter
on the pepper while frying, but I'll leave that to Mr. Cliff to tell you.

At the Festival International (1996), Does anyone know the name of the
4-man act <3 guys and a gal> that were bungie flying at the childrens'
area?
