THE STATE NAME: Louisiana is another state, along with Illinois, that bears the mark of Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle. The first European to descend the Mississippi River to the delta, this French explorer named the area La Louisianne after Louis XIV of France in 1682.
Chitlins are deep fried pig intestines I believe, taste kind of salty and crispy as potato chips.

It has a slightly more springy texture than chicken, but quite similar. ate alligator once, cubed and sauteed in butter and garlic. The texture was very strange, like chicken that was both rubbery and stringy at once. I found the taste to be a little bit gamey (not exactly fishy, but, kind of funky in a way I can't completely explain). I can't say that I liked it or did not.
