Eggplant appetizer a la Justin, p.9, very nice hot, better cold. I'd broil the eggplant rather than fry.
Boiled shrimp in shell, p.43, meh, I'd halve the recipe.

Nobody has a first name, but a front name and a behind name (p. 6-7)
Aw! Justin Wilson with his suspenders and his panama hat, was famously known for his weekly television cooking shows back in the ‘70’s. I can still hear his voice. Every week, in his signature Cajun dialect, “I’m glad fo’ you to see me, I gar-on-tee”. According to Wilson, the Cajun patois was already disappearing back in the ‘70’s.
Unfortunately, his little stories and jokes in this little book fell completely flat for me, but I did enjoy freshening up with the Cajun dialect, which you don’t hear at all any more over here in Southeast Texas.
Below is an example, and a challenge, of one of many pieces you’ll find in this book. So, put on your Cajun accent and give it a shot.
Trail Blazers
Years ago at a place called False River dey got two fallow wen’ one day to catch deyse’f some bream perch fish. An’ dey go to a Cajun name Olivier Guillaume- dass Oliver Williams in English- to rent a boat. Dey go out dair an’ start to catch dem bream as fas’ as dey can bait a hook, an’ one dem fallow say, “Dis de bes’ doggone place to fish I never saw befo’ ag’in in ma’ life.” An’ de odder one say, “Ma’se’f, I bleeve dat, too. I wish we could mark dis place so we can fine it ag’in.”
“I fix dat r’at now,” de odder fellow say. An’ he reach in his pock- ett an’ got his knife an’ notch on de side o’ de boat.
Soon dey got de boat so full o’ bream iss about to sink isse’f, so dey pull up anchor an’ head fo’ home. W’en dey mos’ back to de dock one dem fallow say, “You know, planty smaht to t’ought o’ dat. But jes’ suspose we don’t got the same boat nex’ time- how in de hell we gonna fine dat place?” (p. 48)
I know, pretty carny, right? And this was one of the better jokes. Ha! Imagine reading 133 pages of this.
