Oh, and here I was thinking it was a John Madden creation.

We were once at a New Year's Eve party where a turducken was served. I'm not sure the "chef" knew what he was doing, because the meat was very, very dry. I wish he would have used Michael's modified Paul Prudhomme recipe.

Here is Herberts website. I tried it a few years ago and it was very very good but I like the Cajun Grocer better. http://www.hebertsmeats.com/

Debi: I didn't realize people don't like clicking on tiny url's, - back when I joined Fodors I used to use the long links and a few people told me not to b/c that was what spread out the threads making it hard to read, having to scroll to see everything, etc and so they posted to me about tinyurl. - i thought it was a great idea. But now I wonder about all those times I have given people links to go to who may never actually even click on them out because they are afraid to -

Usually I say, "here is a tiny url link" to the page I am referring them to - but I suppose that is the best I can do - if they are afraid of where it might take them or if they are worried about what, viruses or something???

That seems so funny to me - Everything we write on this forum is then available on google and although no one is using their names, in many threads we share private emails, etc.....

do you think they are worried the tiny url's will send them to some bizarre gross web site or something ? AAAhhh - isn't it awful that today people even have to think someone might do that.....

oh well, thanks for the heads up!

I much prefer the timy URLs. Posts are soooo hard to read with the long links that some folks won't even get to the link. I wouldn't have ever thought a tiny URL would be any less safe that a long web address.

Maybe you can put a split version of the web address, with a tiny url next to it?

escargot -
I thought tinyurls were great when I fist figured out what they were! [Still do]. I think that some people may be uncomfortable clicking on them since you can't "see" where you are going.

Maybe the solution is to use both, but that seems silly. I think once people on here "know" you, they trust the links you provide.

But there are always so many new people, that they just aren't sure what tiny urls are!

Again, there are so many little "tricks of the trade" here on Fodors, that new people don't know -- topping, how to do a search, how the STATE drop down menu works, getting a good topic title to ensure getting a lots of helpful replies, some of the abbreviations used [like OP - original poster], how to find a thread that they once saw, how to find a thread they started [clicking on their own name] are just a few that come to mind.

So, can anyone tell me if cajun sausage is spicy?

Paul Prud'homme's is spicy. If you want not too spicy, buy ground pork and add cajun spices as you desire.

Thank you Michael!
