This dish is a great budget stretcher. Cajuns love to blend various combinations of foods. Great one-dish such as this one are family favorites and are served at potluck suppers, social and family gatherings where friends can catch up on local gossip. Gossip according to Wikipedia consists of casual or idle talk of any sort, sometimes (but not always) slanderous and/or devoted to discussing others.
