"It ain't your mama's Southern cookin' -- \"&lt;strong&gt;Swamp Star&lt;/strong&gt;\" &lt;strong&gt;Troy Landry&lt;/strong&gt; tells TMZ, he's working on his own little COOKBOOK featuring real backwoods bayou faves ... and it includes rodent stew!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0720-troy-lantry-swamp-ex\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/07/20/0720-troy-lantry-swamp-ex.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Landry -- the guy who basically cooks everything on the show -- SEVERAL publishers have already approached him about a book deal since \"SP\" premiered last year ... but he's still weighing his options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Landry tells us, he's currently compiling a master list of all his recipes -- which includes his most famous dish called \"&lt;strong&gt;Nutria Sauce Piquante&lt;/strong&gt;\" ... a gumbo made from a semiaquatic rodent called a nutria ... basically an over-sized rat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0720-nutria-example-sub\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/07/20/0720-nutria-example-sub.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;Troy says he picked up his recipes while working at his father's restaurant as a kid -- but don't worry ... we're told the cookbook still has kinda normal things ... you know, like deep South chicken (okay, still scary).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for his dad's restaurant -- it shut down a few years back. Sad? Yes. Surprising? No comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
