This comes from an old magazine article I had put away in a recipe box years ago. The recipe is from Mrs. Percy Lormand Sr., of Kaplan, La. "The former Velma Broussard grew up in Abbeville, La (pop. 15,000), where one quarter of the last names in the telephone directory are Broussard. Their French ancestors came from Acadia about 200 years ago. This dish was served at this year's annual Southwestern Louisiana's Epicurian Food Festival Dinner in Lake Charles."
