Central Louisiana HERE!!! FriedOkra!!! Only if its cooked correctly!! Haha! Im in the Alexandria area; center state location. And diversity is definately here in the lower end of the united states- its the melting potluck meal of the bayous and canals, rivers and streams that dip into the gulf of mexico full of some of the craziest individuals i have ever encountered complete with a very spicy and well seasoned variety of outlandish parties for unknown reasons, mardi gras that lasts for days, unheard of outdooring adventures that no one can explain but damn they're fun, the outback, backwoods, redneck, cajun, creole, french history complete with stories that anyone not from here could possibly believe but every word is true and crazy corners for us each to remind ourselves that there is always crazy in everyone's corner, it takes coming to Louisiana to find it and let it all out!!!
