Very happy that without any prompting they picked up some Louisiana condiments at the Vietnamese seafood store. They were curious about it and felt the ingredients were familiar. I always felt that southern food and southeast asian food had a lot in common. *
They like that they can easily converse with the fishmongers in Cantonese and some Vietnamese. Even though they speak English, people here take a while to understand them.
* Vietnamese - Cajun is totally a thing in Texas and Louisiana and I want to explore that fusion more
