If Louisiana had its own dictionary...it would probably be way too heavy for anyone to lift, now that we think about it. We have a lot of words here, which is why we've broken things down into just one or two (or three, whatever, don't judge us) letters. You know, to keep things moving.

The Louisiana Alphabet

A is for Acadiana, or maybe Alligators

B is for Boudin

C is for Crawfish

D is for Drive-Thru Daiquiris, but keep that tape on till you get home, sha!

G is for Gumbo (But not if you put tomatoes in it!)

H is for High School Football

I is for Iowa, but not the one with all the corn. (Also, it's pronounced Eye-Oh-A, for some reason.)
