Tweener,
If you love the spice, you should do yourself a favor and jaunt down to New Orleans for a few meals. There's nothing better than "Dat dere gator tail etouffe' wit' some jambalaya". I eat Mexican quite often and cajun every chance I get.
However, if eggs are not safe for you, cajun would be very dangerous. Crawfish hollandaise sauce is all butter and egg. Roux is a clogged artery on a plate. [:)]

Ronnie,
I love eggs and don't have any adverse reaction, but I'm just trying to keep my heart in shape.

As for the "Dat dere gator tail etouffe' wit' some jambalaya", I'd love it!  I just never get that far south.

Kansas City Barbeque keeps my arteies well clogged for now.

John

Bezoar, I second your opinion of the food in London.  Had the most horrible (and expensive) quiche there, among other hideous dishes, and no one knew what ketchup was!
What? Do they not have soya bean? Though it does make me curious, since I don't like ketchup.

Yep, sounds like cheesecake. It's called cheesecake but actually isn't made of your average cheddar ! It uses cream cheese on a biscuit base and you flavour it with lemon or, as you say, vanilla and add chocolate sprinkles, cream and fruit to the top. Delicious.
Actually sounded more like a custard pie to me. Which is basically cheesecake without the cheese. But they're all just a variation on egg + dairy + sugar + other thickeners in variable proportions.
