SWAMP COOKING WITH THE RIVER PEOPLE

by Dana Holyfield
Nestled near New Orleans, among marshy bogs crawlin' with gators and accessible only by boat, lies Honey Island Swamp, home of the River People. We've brought you WHITE TRASH COOKING. Now it's time for a new spin on downhome Southern eats: Swamp Cooking. With a heap of photos and plenty of storytellin', SWAMP COOKING WITH THE RIVER PEOPLE is enthralling as cultural anthropology--but as regional cuisine, it's downright divine. Witness an alligator rodeo, stop in at the Elks Lodge double weddin', dodge game wardens, and go wild hog huttin'. And since your going to work up an appetite, savor some Mudbug Jambalaya. try Charlie's Tree Rat Stew, or sample Smothered Frog Legs with a side of Coonass Coleslaw. And whatever you do, save room for Wanda's Whisky Cake!
