I immediately recognized this building. I had lunch at Napolean House only last
weekend while attending a conference across the street at the Omni Royal Orleans hotel.
My first visits to Napolean House were in the late 1960's when my then-boyfriend and I
would share a bottle of Graves and an oyster po-boy while listening to Beethoven or
Mozart. Just behind the main room there was a small room lined with record albums
where one selected the classical music of choice and put it on the turntable. Common
courtesy dictated that no album was interrupted during its playing. Diane Burkett

A reasonably quick one, Colleen! I guessed wildly, googled "2010 Olympics" and
somehow-- no idea HOW-- one of the choices was this photo on Shorpy! Nothing to
do with Vancouver, but there you are. From the Shorpy text, I had what I needed to
google on Napoleon House and get the rest. Marjorie Wilser

I see that your sister, Kathleen, is a Labourdette. Cool. Was this building originally
under her husband's family's ownership? I bet they wish they still had it if it was, huh?
Karen Kay Bunting
N.B. Yes, you are right! My sister Kathleen married into the Labourdette family.
They don't own the place any more, but Joseph Labourdette is her ancestor-in-law.
How did you find that out? QM Gen

New Orleans is excited about their Saints playing in the Super Bowl for the first time
ever. (I'll be happy for them if they win, but I'm pulling for the Colts, my favorite AFC
team, as I was born in Indiana and I'm a fan of Peyton Manning). Brian Kemp

The photo bugged me cause I knew that it was not Central Grocery and guessed it was
the Absinthe House. So I got on the internet and found old photos of the Napoleon
House and discovered that they too serve Muffalettas but they serve them warm. Now
it all fits. Thanks. GEAUX SAINTS! GEAUX!

Last Thanksgiving our daughter with her 5 children and I went to the Aquarium and on
the way home I went by to get 2 muffalattas. Typically keep them wrapped for an hour
or so because the juices from the olive salad soaks into that great bread.It's a
greeeeeaaaat treat; I can taste one now. Purists never heat a Muffaletta. Since the
Central Grocery is in the middle of a block, I suspect the photo is of the Old Absinthe
House at the corner of Bourbon and Bienville; I've never been in there and not sure that
they serve Muffaletts. Who Dat? Who Dat?,,,,,,, GO SAINTS---GOOOOOOOOOO

The picture was instantly recognizable as New Orleans and fresh from last nights
victory a great topic. As soon as I saw the photo, I was reminded of your Crescent
City roots. I like to claim New Orleans roots myself, although really being from
Hattiesburg, MS; I spent enough time in New Orleans to love that city. My connection
to the city runs deep, my parents and my wife and I both honeymooned in New
Orleans. My mother was trained nurse at Charity Hospital and developed a great love of
the city, which she passed on to me. I am somewhat glad that she passed away beofre
seeing what happened to her favorite city. My wife and I did an annual visit (at least
annual) from the time we were married in 1980 until May 2005. Sadly we have not
returned, but it is time to go back, hopefully for Mardi Gras. I am making plans now.
Oh and by the way, I prefer the Muffuletta from Central Grocery.

I presume that is the famous sandwich you are looking for, but they also have 10
different Poor Boys on their menu.
It must be a wild place tonight because the Saints won the Super Bowl and I'll bet the
French Quarter is somewhere I wouldn't want to be. (I was in San Francisco's North
Beach one night when the 49ers won the Super Bowl and it was not an experience I
want to repeat.
This quiz lead to some interesting reading. I didn't know the Battle of New Orleans
lasted over one month. I also ended up reading about the drink absinthe. A
photographer who took pictures for a book on the Napoleon House also took the photos
for a book on a drink called the Obituary Cocktail (which doesn't seem to be on the
Napoleon House menu). The Obituary Cocktail is made with absinthe. I thought
absinthe was illegal in the US but I learned that it's distillation became legal here in
2007. In fact, I learned that there is a distillery which makes absinthe about 13 and a
half miles from my house (I need to check this out)
This was fun and pretty easy. I looked up Joseph Labourdette Family Grocery and
found the exact photo taken in 1905 of the Napoleon House. I went from there.

I was only in New Orleans once and got my muffletta at Central Grocery. Long enough

I am glad the Saints won. I like to see the underdog win. What a boost for the spirit of
people there. They need it. I love that city. In the 1980's, I would fly there for a week

haven't been back since 1990. Its on my list of places to visit now that I an retired.

I have read that some football fans had become so discouraged about the team’s
mediocre record in past years, they wore bags over their heads and referred to the team
as the New Orleans “Aints”. They can now proudly put the S back on and hopefully
look forward to another winning season. I watched the game with several friends and I
was the only person to pick New Orleans to win. It did turn out that everyone in the
room was happy for them and excited about the fashion of their victory. Don Draper

| To make this, you need two very important ingredients -- the bread, and the olive salad. In a pinch any good Italian bread will do, but for an authentic muffuletta you need a muffuletta loaf. It's round, usually sesame-seeded and about 10 inches in diameter. I'm told that many New Orleans muffuletterias (a new word I just made up) get their bread at Angelo Gendusa's bakery. If you want a Liuzza's-style "Frenchuletta", use a good light-bodied crispy-crusted French bread. Then ... the olive salad. The Holy Grail of sandwich fillings. The olive salad recipe is the Number One single most-requested recipe on The Gumbo Pages. While Central Grocery do not give out their muffuletta olive salad recipe, lots of folks have tried to duplicate it, with varying degrees of success. I've been saying for years now that I'm going to get a jar of olive salad from Central and reverse-engineer it, but until then, this will do quite nicely. New Orleanian cook and cookbook author Chiqui Collier was kind enough to share this recipe with me for this site, and says, "It is my pleasure to send you the recipe for the original muffletta sandwich that was created by the grandfather of a lady i worked with 28 years ago." (Presumably that was Signor Salvadore.) "The recipe for the olive salad is the exact way it was given to me. It makes over a gallon, but since your comments indicate that you love it, i'm sure you won't want to cut it down. It stores very well in the refrigerator for many months and makes great gifts along with the recipe for the sandwich. For the olive salad: * 1 gallon large pimento stuffed green olives, slightly crushed and well drained * 1 quart jar pickled cauliflower, drained and sliced * 2 small jars capers, drained * 1 whole stalk celery, sliced diagonally * 4 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced diagonally * 1 small jar celery seeds * 1 small jar oregano * 1 large head fresh garlic, peeled and minced * 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper * 1 jar pepperoncini, drained (small salad peppers) left whole * 1 pound large Greek black olives * 1 jar cocktail onions, drained Combine all ingredients in a large bowl or pot and mix well. Place in a large jar and cover with 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 Crisco oil. Store tightly covered in refrigerator. Allow to marinate for at least 24 hours before using. For the sandwich: * 1 round loaf italian bread * 1/4 pound mortadella, thinly sliced * 1/4 pound ham, thinly sliced * 1/4 pound hard Genoa salami, thinly sliced * 1/4 pound Mozzarella cheese, sliced * 1/4 pound Provolone cheese,sliced * 1 cup olive salad with oil Split a muffuletta loaf or a loaf of Italian bread horizontally. Spread each half with equal parts of olive salad and oil. Place meats and cheeses evenly on bottom half and cover with top half of bread. Cut in quarters. Enjoy! Serves four timid dieters, two hearty New Orleanians or one incredible maiale. |

The muffuletta sandwich is one of the
great sandwiches of the world, and it's
criminal that it can hardly be found
anywhere outside the city of New Orleans.
It's also a bit of a lesson to those who
think the only cultural and culinary
heritage of New Orleans is French,
Spanish, African and Creole. You ask
folks about the quintessential sandwiches
of New Orleans, and many people will
immediately reply "po-boy", but the
muffuletta is as New Orleans as any
po-boy you'll ever eat, and there's nothing
Creole about it. This is pure Italian, and
pure Sicilian if you want to be specific.

Crescent City since the 1880s. It wasn't always easy for them -- one of the worst
lynchings in American history was a massacre perpetrated upon a group of Italians in
New Orleans in 1891.
The Italians soon settled in comfortably into New Orleans culture, and we are the richer
for it. Their contribution to local culture and cuisine has been immeasurable; in fact,
you frequently see "Creole-Italian" referred to as one of the local sub-cuisines. This
kind of cooking is epitomized at places like Mandina's, Liuzza's, and the many places in
the city that serve muffuletta sandwiches.
According to the tale I've heard, the muffuletta sandwich was invented by Signor Lupo
Salvadore, who opened the now-famous little Italian market called Central Grocery on
Decatur Street in the French Quarter in 1906 and created the muffuletta sandwich,
named for a favored customer (although I had also heard that the sandwich was named
for the baker of the round Italian bread on which the sandwich is served).

| I am not a sports fan either, but I did watch the whole game. I was happy for the people of New Orleans. We had tickets to celebrate our 50th anniversary in New Orleans on September 3, 2005. Katrina hit before we left California. Had we left earlier, we would had been at the Hilton on Canal. A bit of 20th century history, during the 40s, 50s, and 60s my uncle managed the Central Grocery on Decatur. It was his wife's family business. Chris Hansen |
You'll hear lots of New Orleanians pronounce
the sandwich "muff-uh-LOT-uh", but I
understand that the proprietors of Central
Grocery pronounce it "moo-foo-LET-ta". The
common abbreviation is "muff"; e.g., "I'll take
me a half a muff."
Here are my favorite places in New Orleans to
get muffulettas. If I have time, I'll frequently
stop at one of these places on the way to the
airport to pick up a muffuletta to eat on the
plane. Given the hideously poor quality (or
complete nonexistence) of airline food these
days, this is something one absolutely must do
when leaving New Orleans. As the olive salad
aroma fills the entire plane, it really pisses off
your fellow passengers too, which makes it
even more fun.
| Who Dat, DONE Dat ! The people of New Orleans, and even across the country, rooted for the underdog Saints Football team. The excitement of the occasion inspired the team and when it was done. They won. The structure on the corner of Chartres and St. Louis in New Orleans, now named the Napoleon House, is the picture shown on the quiz. It's a whiz. It seems that the building had been planned to be used to house Napoleon Bonaparte after he was exiled, as at the time it was highly feared, He never appeared………..

Street, in the French Quarter of New
Orleans, Louisiana. It was founded in
1906 by Salvatore Lupo, a Sicilian
immigrant.
It is famous as the home of the New
Orleans muffuletta sandwich invented by
Salvatore Lupo, to feed the Sicilian truck
farmers who sold their produce at the
Farmer's Market on Decatur Street in the
French Quarter. The Muffuletta was only
locally known until the late 1960s. Now, it
has international fame. The Central sells
not only the sandwiches as take-out or eat-
in, but also the ingredients of the
muffuletta—including olive salad by the
jar—for people who want to make the
sandwich at home. Because of the
muffuletta, they were featured on the PBS
special Sandwiches That You Will Like
and "The Today Show" [five best
sandwiches series].

| SOUTH FLORIDA, Fla. -- Fortune favors the bold! The Saints had nothing to lose in the 44th Super Bowl, since their season was already a success regardless of the outcome. All the pressure was on the Colts, whose season would be a failure unless they won. The Saints were loose and spontaneous, the Colts were stiff and mechanical. Boldness was the key to the New Orleans victory -- not just the onside kick to open the second half, but also Sean Payton's decision to try for a touchdown on fourth-and-goal at the Colts' 1-yard line, trailing 10-3. Though that play failed, the failure was a tremendous success -- fortune favors the bold! http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/100209&sportCat=nfl |
