This fun Cajun Survival kits comes complete with the story of the original of the Survival Kit. This lively tale is written in Cajun French and also has a "translated" to English version. The story tells of crazy Uncle Clovis who goes off west to seek fortune and feels lost once he leaves the bayou. To relieve the "gris-gris" (curse) on him, he is sent a Survival Kit full of things he needs from home.
The back of the package lists contents for the CAJUN SURVIVAL KIT as follows:
Miniature Crawfish
Miniature Crab
Miniature Alligator
Tabasco packet
File'
Tony Chacere's Cajun Spices
Red beans and rice
Spanish Moss (gathered from a Live Oak tree)

Mardi Gras throw
Also lists, but not actually in the bag (Cajun attempt at humor):

Drop of the Mighty Mississippi (evaporated)
ROAR of TIGER STADIUM in Baton Rouge on Saturday Night
Aroma of cafe au lait
Rhythm of Cajun music
Sound of Dixieland Jazz
Scent of Magnolia in bloom

Whether you are from the south and miss all these things or you are a visitor to Louisiana, this CAJUN SURVIVAL KIT is a great way to absorb the aura of Louisiana from somewhere far from the bayou.
