Acadian here who is currently still living in present day Acadie (New-Brunswick and Nova Scotia). Cajun food would be from our descendants that got expelled from our home land in 1755 to the louisanna area. Our story is both sad and fascinating, although not very well known around the world.
For anyone interested in history google the 1755 Acadian deportation also known as “le grand derangement”. Thousands of us died while all of this happened.
We also have delicious modern day Acadian food such as poutine rape, Pete de soeur and fricot soup.
We’re known for being very proud of our culture and heritage since the English tried to exterminate us completely from Canada but failed to do so.
