After seeing some 'hot tamale' talk by @faineg.bsky.social and others I had to hunt down this pic of Luzana Ed, my old neighbor who introduced me to them here in Portland

Years later I met another maker who inspired me to cook something that tasted similar but is much easier

Recipe next post

Now: the question is— do I drop him right in the deep end of South Luzana culture and make him have potato salad with his gumbeaux or no?

how many Verner's law pairs (i mean, showing consonant alteration) do we still have in English strong verbs? even as fossilized forms? probably not many..

another one i can think of is
lose ~ [for]lorn
where *s > *z > r

(infinitive *leusaną vs. participle *luzaną)
If you spoke Old English and were boiling something, you'd use the verb sēoþan – from which English today gets two very distinct words:

- From its infinitive/present tense, we get 'seethe', now used for strong emotions.

- From its past participle ġesoden ('boiled, cooked'), we also get 'sodden'.

I just noticed that I inadvertently bought the “MORE SPICE!” version of Tony’s yesterday, and now all I can think about is how to tie in “Dune” with Creole food. Do we have the Fremen speaking Luzana French? Are the sand worms gators? The possibilities are endless!

Eno sad ne dam rec. Ne samo sa Ilidze nego iz Luzana 😄

#LuzanaWeek 2025 Día 4 Sirena y Pirata
(Más vale tarde que nunca)

Lz es un pirata que se enfrentará a un reino entero solo para rescatar a una joven sirena que fue capturada por la realeza para ser una nueva “mascota”. El “villano” es ahora, el héroe de la joven.

She was talking to her mom on the phone about her dad and I didn’t want to interrupt too much so I just asked his name and said I’d bother St. Luke the Physician about him. Then I asked her to “say hello to yomommanem and give ‘em my best”

“Yomommanem” is how you say “your whole family” in Luzana.

I have dreams of taking him all through the parts of South Luzana that mean the most to me. And maybe stuffing his face the whole time. Brochette, Étoufée, po’Boy, Mufellata, actual Café Créole, beignets, the list is endless when it comes to Louisiana. 🥹

Luzana has their own particular variety of English. They also have their own particular varieties of French, all of which are worthy of study. I can speak PASSABLE Cajun French— but Kreyol Lwezyèn still eludes me.

Also: SOUTH Luzana. That stuff didn’t come from Shreveport or Nachitoches!

No it doesn’t. You just serve a scoop of it on the side of the bowl. The rice— usually long-grain Luzana rice— goes in the bowl before the gumbo!

I learned about them long before I went to Louisiana from my neighbor Ed who sold them out his camper on a street corner in NE Portland

Now I am not from Luzana, and have only driven this Nightmare Highway a few times, but what I can say is this: IF YOU EXPECT ME NOT TO SAY HORRIBLE WORDS IN A NUMBER OF LANGUAGES YOU HAVEN’T DRIVEN THIS HELL-ROUTE. 😩

In my defense, most of those horrible words were in Cajun French.

Toga se ne sjecam, al sjecam se kad nije bilo Luzana nego je bio veliki kamp. Mi tamo drzali prikolicu i dolazili na izlet vikendom.

Oh WE CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS, I’m not from Luzana but I know it well, I speak both Frenches, and I love it immensely. 🥰🥰🥰 No finer place in the world for duck hunting.

That is about 28% of how I picture you. The rest is either the NM or the Luzana version of the protagonist from “Alas, Babylon” with which you’re familiar because obviously you are. I can absolutely see you putting in that degree of care and common sense to keeping your community alive.

#LuzanaWeek 2025 Día 1: Héroes y Villanos

Luzu es traicionado y decide escapar utilizando a la heroina, Lana, salvándola en el proceso. Ahora deberán trabajar juntos para salir vivos.
Pero ¿el verse cara a cara por primera vez, sin máscaras y vulnerables, les hará confiar en el otro?

I’m on the fence about that (although I ABSOLUTELY 100% UNDERSTAND)— but I’ve spent enough time in South Luzana and New Orleans that I think I’d only ever just ask awkward musicology questions. “Are you SURE that’s Dixieland? It don’t sound Dixie to ME.” 🤣

Gracias por el apoyo y espero con ansias la siguiente week de mis papis
