We all know that Louisiana is a unique state with some very interesting people living here in the bayou state. As a Cajun myself, I thought what would a Cajun like myself hand out for Halloween if I had no candy for trick-or-treaters?

Most kids who Trick Or Treat are looking for those sweet treats and candy but if they visit a Cajun house, they may be surprised by what they might get other than candy.

I mean if they forget to go buy candy to hand out, what would most Cajuns do? They would start raiding their pantry and start handing random things to those trick-or-treaters who show up out their doorsteps.

Since I am one of those Cajun folks, I thought up a list of things I would hand out, and here is my list.

A jar of roux. I mean it's about to get cold. Who wouldn't want some roux to cook up a good gumbo?

Deer Sausage. Every Cajun in Louisiana has at least a few packs of deer sausage in their freezer. If they don't then they either didn't kill a deer during the hunting season or they are still in the process of making some.

A bag of rice. I mean it kind of goes hand and hand with the gumbo above.

A Bottle Of Butane. Every Cajun has at least four or five bottles of butane in their backyard. Actually, this is a great gift so ask for one of those first!

Slice Of Cake. Every Cajun household always has a dessert on hand. If you get lucky, they will have a Carrot cake, coconut cake, or banana cake. Ask for a slice. They are sure to have one!
