In the colony of New Acadia, the famed Gator ‘rassler Boudreux Broussard has announced that he is going to finally retire, and enjoy his golden years with his remaining limbs. Mr. Broussard is famed for his Broussard Gator Hammer Slam technique. His son Boudreux Broussard Junior is now taking over from his father as the premier gator “rassler on Esperanza.

The Broussard Family is not only known for its famous gator ‘rassling, but for its restaurant which serves up some of the most stick to your ribs meals in the colony of New Acadia. If you are fortunate enough to get a seat (cafeteria style only), make sure you try all of the treats such as fried gator, jambalaya, gumbo, and the ever popular firecracker gator soup, so hot and spicy it is claimed by many to be able to bring a man six days dead back to life! We can assure you that this soup, which is filled with meat, okra, onion, and peppers, lots and lots of peppers is not for those with a weak constitution. Be prepared, and sign that waiver!

Something I just posted in another thread:

<Strong flavored stock> That's one way to put it.
How does the group feel about "heat"?
I like a little bit of tang, but what is usually labelled "mild" is still too strong for my taste and needs to be cut.
A few years back we went to an Asian caucus political meeting at a South Indian restaurant (Spousal unit is Japanese). Let's just say this poor Caucasian went through a lot of bread!

If the people of the Traveller universe are like me, I don't think South Indian or Cajun cuisine would be all that popular.* We prefer some black or red pepper, garlic, onion, and some herbs (parsley and basil mainly).

* I know, I know. IMO "TexMex" is more of a showmanship thing than a real cuisine.

In my house Jalapenos are a primary food group, and spicy is a way of life. But a word of wisdom: Never, Ever go into a Thai Restaurant and tell them to "Hurt Me", they take that as a challenge....

I knew better, but a buddy decided to "macho it out" and made the request. He managed to eat about three forkfuls of his meal, and then surrendered in pain. I tried it, and it was too macho for me.
