In New Orleans, It's the Monday Muffuletta Conundrum

Ditto on being unimpressed with the Central Market muffaletta. I preferred them from Progress Market, while it was open. Current FQ muffaletta favorite is Napolean House.

What childhood food do you wish they still made?

You can go to fizzies.com and order any flavor you like! My favorite is cherry or grape. By the case for $12 or 15 - I can't remember. But what I miss the most are those giant Charms lollipops - I was proposed to with a handful of Charms Cherry because I was always seen with one stuck in my mouth! I was in the Army and they were at the ice cream store on base and one day an officer said I should at least take the sucker out of my mouth with I salute!

Anybody remember Sprinkle Spangles? Anybody? It was a cereal made of star shapes, sprinkles and lots of sugar. Beautiful rocket fuel.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to NOLA in August and can't wait to try the Muffaletta at Central Grocery. Muffalettas have to be the best sandwich invention ever...

If you are headed for the garden district, don't leave without ordering something from Cafe Freret. Its loved by the students at Loyola and Tulane universities, who refer to it only as "Saucey's". I think I tried everything that was on the menu in 2003, when my husband cooked there. And it was all delicious.

Agreed. Only a doofus would even attempt to eat something other than RBR on a Monday. It's like complaining you couldn't get a good steak in Vatican City on a Friday during Lent.

I have to echo the comments of lambowner. I was honestly puzzled to come across an article dealing with food in New Orleans on a Monday that was about something other than red beans and rice.

I would ask Alton Brown if he would come to my house to cook.
