Cajun Thing of the Week - Papillotes

pä'pē-yôt'

The word, papillote, typically conjures up thoughts of French cooking and fresh fish baked in a pouch.

Mention the word to a Cajun mom or grandma, and they'll assume you mean hair curlers or rollers.

"Chere, I'm going out tomorrow. I'd better put some papillotes in my hair!"
