Lagniappe (n.) /lan’yap/ a little something extra.

“Lagniappe” is a Louisiana French word that has a Spanish origin- “la ñapa.” Lagniappe can reference many things. It can be a little extra spice added to a recipe or a surprise extra gift that comes with a purchase. Whatever it may be, it’s usually something good. Even if you aren’t a fan of surprises, you will probably like a lagniappe. Here, lagniappe will be posts that don’t quite fit into any of the categories. They are fun, unexpected, maybe a little weird, and a little something extra.
