Although Iberia Parish was settled by the Spanish it is the Cajun and Creole food that simmered to become a world-renowned cuisine, including gumbo, boudin, étouffée, jambalaya, boiled crawfish and other fresh seafood prepared in a variety of ways. Asian food is also a favorite, as the area is home to one of America’s largest Laotian populations.
