Filled a small cooler with all the above from a MS country store to help sustain me during my Amtrak trip from Memphis back to AZ. And a good thing too, had plenty to eat when that dang Ivan caused us to be stranded several places along the way. Oh, and sweet potato pie. Never even tasted pumpkin pie til high school.

I think he lightly dusts the breasts w/ flour and red and black pepper, browns in a little oil, and cooks for at least three-four hours in a covered dutch oven at about 275 degrees. Simple and delicious. Before serving, he removes the breasts and makes a lovely reduction for a rich, fruity gravy. My daddy braises wild duck in red wine w/ apples, oranges, onions and celery.

I'm still pondering what omissions are critical. Problem: The list is dominated by Louisiana and New Orleans. What to do about that? Drop some gumbo dishes? I was curious whether anyone would suggest an alternative wild duck dish to wild duck gumbo. I thought about grits and grillades. I’m still pondering what omissions are critical.

Personally, I would replace the shrimp and grits with grits and grillades, which are a very traditional New Orleans dish. NMC: I realize you have several grits items on the list, did
