The Omelet Festival and visiting kinfolk in Abbeville, La was on our agenda. We checked into our B&B, which was a couple blocks off the square and walked to a seafood dinner at Dupuy’s! The next day was filled with Cajun food, Cajun music, Cold beer, and Cajun kinfolks! I even participated in a egg cracking contest on a big tractor.....winning the Texas division! That evening we went to his cousin’s home for baby back ribs, sweet potatoes, and baked apples with the Omelet folks!
Gayla, Harlo, Mike, Bonnie and Dale
The omelet folks marched from the church and down Main Street, where the egg cracking began! 5,035 eggs are used along with lots of other ingredients including crawfish! French bread was sliced to serve with the omelet.
We sat with a big crowd watching the Omelet cooking tradition which dates back to Napoleon!
Dale’s cousin brought a tray with a serving of omelet and bread for each of us....yummy!
That evening we joined Mike and Bonnie for a lovely dinner! Bonnie prepared a delicious fish chowder with all the trimmings.
The next morning we headed out taking the beach road to Port Arthur, Texas. We stopped in Cameron, Louisiana for a seafood lunch..our last Cajun food fix!
We made it home after a weekend filled with fun and family!
