What is the difference between Creole and Cajun food?
In: 5243
From a cajun currently living in New Orleans: cajun food is creole food with less Spanish influence, and more an emphasis on the African American slaves’ diets and the settlement of poor French acadiens in southern Louisiana.
Lots of rich, saucy (often tomato based) dishes available at any restaurant in the city.
Lots of gumbo and boudin and rice & gravy at your grandma’s house in Vermilion Parish.
