The Conrad Rice Mill is the oldest rice mill in America. They opened their doors in 1912 and still use turn of the century equipment to process their rice. It is also one of the leading tourist attractions in this area of the Bayou Teche. In 1981, the Mill was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Jambalaya is a classic Cajun dish. Some say it came from the period of Spanish rule in Louisiana and represents a slurring together of jamon and paella. Others say it derives from the French jambon because ham is one of the main ingredients of jambalaya. Whatever the origin, jambalaya is a uniquely Cajun dish. It was a distinctly adaptable dish that varied according to whatever meat or seafood the early settlers could get their hands on. It combines cooked rice with a variety of ingredients including tomatoes, onions, green peppers and almost any kind of meat, poultry and/or shellfish. Traditionally, the day's bounty was added to the pot, making each new serving subtly different from day to day. Konriko has created a mix of carefully selected blend of spices and rice from Southern Louisiana (containing no MSG). All you need to do is add whatever main flavor that strikes your fancy and cook. Makes 6 servings.
