Loosyanna red beans and rice are typically made with the trinity,
celery, onion, bell pepper; and sausage, or tasso, or andouille, or one
of the other speciality meats used for such things. Generally served
over rice and eaten as a main dish. Possible sides I have seen are
cornbread; potato salad; or a green salad. At least that's the way it's
made in this part of Loosyanna.

Many restaurants in this area serve red beans and rice on Wednesday for
the noon meal and those restaurants mostly have all the business they
can handle on that day.
