I Like to Cook
Trying an Italian oxtail stew (coda alla vaccinara) tonight as I've got the house to myself. Should be good but it takes HOURS lol.

Oxtail is fabulous if done right. I'm partial to the Vietnamese versions I've had in New Orleans. Good luck!

Never tried that, I might have to give it a look :) Italian is generally my go to cuisine, but I've really enjoyed Vietnamese food the few times I've come across it. Is there a lot of it in New Orleans?

Yes, there was a huge influx of Vietnamese there in the late 1970s. We even had a Vietnamese politician we sent to Washington a few years ago. Vietnamese cuisine is very French-inspired and mixes well with the French influences in New Orleans cuisine.

Ah yes that French mix makes sense actually, I'd heard about the major French influences in Vietnamese food. New Orleans cuisine has always seemed very interesting and something I'd love to experience some day, in fact the whole culture of that part of the world is something that interests me a lot :)
