What an incredible person. I learned about him first in Hawaii with its major Asian culture. Just one more bit of evidence that food is really interesting.

When I read that Lafcadio Hearn wrote a book about Creole Cookery in New Orleans 1885 you could have knocked me over with a feather. He is one of the most colorful characters that I have ever read about. I didn't know about the New Orleans gig but after checking it out and about what led him to New Orleans I am more in awe of him than ever. He is very famous for being one of the people who introduced Japan to the world at large. He went to Japan about five years after he wrote the cookbook and stayed there until he died in 1904. The Japanese called him Koizumi Yakumo and had great respect for him. Rachel,
