Note: This recipe is an adaptation from the “Talk About Good” cook book published in 1984, by The Junior League of Lafayette, Inc., Lafayette, Louisiana; recipe by F.H. Davis. We bought this cookbook on a family vacation in 1984. The trip has many members for me, Rose and the kids. The cook book is still a family favorite. Nuchia Chia Seed Flour was substituted one to one for processed wheat flour in this recipe, the sausage and Guinness beer were not in the original recipe, enjoy - Homer Hartage.
