oysters, shrimps, and pork sausages are mainstays – that was the only info i have about creole cooking. i never tried one either, and was never curious. aside from being rare in the philippines, only few restaurants specialize such cuisine – most of them are too pricey. creole traces back to louisiana, more particularly in big easy or new orleans. you may think of haunted houses, vampire movies, all-night parties, and the mardi gras.
