    Louisiana [...] bread pudding homogeneous in texture as if the bread/custard mix had been put through a blender.

    Disgusting!

    I do not like that. I much prefer to have noticeable hunks
    of bread and crust in my pudding.

    That's why dry stale crusty French bread is recommended.

    This claims to be the Commander's Palace version:

    Title: French Bread Pudding With Clear Rum Sauce
    Categories: Desserts, Pudding, Sauces
    Yield: 6 Servings

    1 c Sugar
    8 tb Butter; softened
    5 Eggs beaten
    1 pt Heavy cream
    1 ds Cinnamon
    1 tb Vanilla extract
    1/4 c Raisins
    12 sl Day-old French bread
    Rum Sauce (recipe follows)

    Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar
    and butter. Add eggs, cream, cinnamon, vanilla and raisins, mixing
    well. Pour into a 9-inch square pan 1 3/4 inches deep. Arrange
    bread slices flat in the egg mixture and let stand for 5 minutes
    to soak up some of the liquid. Turn bread over and let stand for
    10 minutes longer. Then push bread down so that most of it is
    covered by the egg mixture. Do not break the bread. Set pan in a
    larger pan filled with water to 1/2-inch from the top. Cover with
    aluminum foil. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, uncovering pudding for the
    last 10 minutes to brown the top. When done, the custard should
    still be soft, not firm. Serve with Rum Sauce on the side.

    Louisiana [...] bread pudding homogeneous in texture as if the bread/custard mix had been put through a blender.

    Disgusting!

    I would not go quite that far, but C grade at best.


    I do not like that. I much prefer to have noticeable hunks
    of bread and crust in my pudding.

    That's why dry stale crusty French bread is recommended.

    And considering that was in Louisiana --- DUH.

    This claims to be the Commander's Palace version:

    What I had at Commander's Palace was a bread pudding souffle. It had a
    fluffy souffle top. When it came to add the whiskey sauce, they cut a
    slice in the top and spooned the sauce down into the pudding. I have
    never had such a bread pudding -- and probably will not again. We would
    not normally have gone to CP if it had not been included in the price of
    the tour.

    Title: SHRIMP SWEET POTATO AND LEEK CHOWDER
    Categories: Soups
    Yield: 6 Servings

    MMMMM---------------------------STOCK--------------------------------
    1 tb Vegetable oil
    1 md Onion; minced
    1 tb Red chile, minced
    4 c Bottled clam juice
    3/4 lb Medium shrimp
    -shelled, halved lengthwise
    -deveined, shells reserved
    2 tb Tomato paste

    MMMMM----------------------------SOUP---------------------------------
    4 sl Bacon; minced
    3 md Leeks
    -white plus 3" green
    -cut in 1/2" pieces
    1 sm Onion; minced
    1 tb Garlic; minced
    1 lg Sweet potato; peeled
    -cut in 1/2" dice
    3 c Milk
    1 tb Paprika
    Salt and pepper
    1/4 c Chives; snipped

    Make the stock: heat the oil in a heavy medium saucepan. Add the
    onion and chile and cook over moderately high heat, stirring
    occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the clam juice,
    shrimp shells, tomato paste and 1 cup of water and bring to a boil
    over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderate and simmer for 20
    minutes. Strain the stock into a large heatproof measuring cup. You
    should have 4 cups of stock; boil to reduce if necessary.

    Make the soup: Set a large saucepan over moderately high heat until
    hot. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp, about 4 minutes.
    With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain.
    Stir in the leeks, onion, celery and garlic and cook, stirring
    occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add the
    shrimp stock and sweet potato and simmer over moderately low heat
    until the sweet potato is tender, about 20 minutes.

    Add the shrimp and the bacon and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the milk
    and paprika, season with salt and pepper and heat through; do not let
    the chowder boil or it will curdle. Ladle the soup into warmed soup
    plates and garnish with the chives.

    You can make it. I have the recipe but when I looked it up I noticed
    that it actually came from you originally!

    Here's a similar version.
