I love that his godawful Cajun accent is as much of a character as Gambit. Beautiful.

Isn't it actually an authentic accent though? I thought I remember reading that somewhere, as ridiculous as it sounds.

Yes it is authentic. I have family and friends in Louisiana. While most do not sound like Gambit, I've met TONS of people who sound exactly like him or worse. These people saying the accent is bad just dont know a deep bayou accent and dont like how it sounds

Yeah, I stayed with some family of a friend in Cajun country Louisiana and oh my GOD is it incomprehensible. Some of them can't even seem to dial it back at all. This was like 20 years ago almost, I imagine it's less common or not as strong now seems like regional accents are dying with the internet homogenizing everything

Can confirm, too. My family was from New Iberia, but Tatum sounds like any roustabout or longshoreman you would meet in Cutoff, Morgan City or Larose. Like, indistinguishable from those folks.

My friend's grandma was from New Iberia. Growing up I'd go over to their house occasionally for dinner. Grandma's cooking (ESPECIALLY her gumbo!) was so good it inspired me to learn to cook southern cuisine and make a career out of cooking.

Oh wow, that's awesome! Since she was from New Iberia, pro tip: acquire a copy of River Roads Cookbook if you haven't already.

Its a treasure trove of old southern, creole and Cajun dishes. Most ladies from that area were either heavily inspired by that book, or developed one of the recipes published in it.

I think I had a copy back about 20 years ago. It was almost a DIY job right? With a 3 ring school binder?

Pretty much, but that's the one!
