Showing posts with the label Striking Workers

The Shrimp Po Boy.

This is my introductory blog for my new website. And welcome to my website! https://nhresources7.wixsite.com   In any case I recently leaned of the history and meaning of the shrimp po boy sandwich, and if you haven't tried its very good. And it goes like this this. 1922 was a time of great labor strife all across New Orleans with many and continual strikes across the city in virtually every industry. As a show of solidarity with the striking workers, who were hungry many restaurants quickly grabbed whatever ingredients were available, shrimp, red onions, creole sauce,lettuce and tomato on a hard french roll. And was called a Po Boy. The Po meaning poor for the striking workers that needed something to eat. And so it began. And they taste really good.    Very distinctive flavor.
