La Mediatrice, the story behind the name..
One of our favourite stories, truly revealing the power of food, is that of the oyster loaf. Dating back to the early 19th century in the Vieux Carre of New Orleans a popular tradition was born. After spending an evening carousing the saloons in the French Quarter and possibly heading for a confrontation with an anxiously waiting spouse one might sensibly stop off at an Oyster Saloon for a ‘peace maker’, in French La Mediatrice. This undeniable and delicious combination of fresh, seasoned & fried Louisiana oysters bedded in a buttered Louisiana baguette was, and in our opinion will forever be, enough to bring peace and in this case forgiveness into any home.
The magical persuasion of food.
