thank you! People outside of LA always use Cajun & Creole interchangeably. They're not the same!
It was also created to try and segregate us when it’s still very possible to hold the same dna type but one person be more white while another has more black dna but if there are still admixtures of French, Native, Spanish, Creole. Cajun is just a word they used to identify us separately from darker Creole descendants, whiter descendants, and so forth. Some people can be just two things dna related like black And Spanish. Still Creole. Or they can be just Native and French. Creole is Creole. “Cajun” word was meant to divide us.
I liked Louisiana travel website oversimplified definition. Creole cuisine as “city food” while Cajun cuisine is often referred to as “country food.”
Yes its much easier to understand it that way
@@lilyrosesoul0077
That's not true because most people who identify as Creoles live outside of New Orleans in the country
@@herewegoagin4667 it's not about where the people who identify which ever way are now, its about where the food originated.
That, and Creole cooking uses more tomatoes. Likely a result of the Spanish, and later Italian, influence.
I have a great, great grand pa was born in Mobile, Alabama as a slave to woman who was from Egypt and the master was a Cajun. He married afull blooded Cherokee woman. My family is all mixed up, but I am the one who loves Louisana cooking and food. I love watching the videos and learning about the people and the history of the Creole cooking. My mom cousin was Creole and cook, my Lord have mercy on me.
Have Mercy why? What a Beautiful thing God can put in ppls DNA ☺️
Cajun culture is mostly French based. The Cajun people originated from an area in France where the people were starting to revolt from the French government and the rulers of the country. They were forced out of France and ended up immigrating to Canada, mainly Nova Scotia, where they got the name Acadièn. Because Canada was under British rule and the people weren’t too keen on defying their rulers by harboring “fugitives”, essentially, they told the Acadian people they needed to leave. So they travelled down the east coast, some families branching off along the way and remaining elsewhere, the “Cajun” people ended their journey in St. Martinville, Louisiana and made the area their new home. Since salt mines, sugar cane crops, tobacco fields and rice fields, and a plethora of other local crops were so plentiful, they decided to grow their own and make wealth for themselves that way. And since they had so many new food sources available to them that they never had before, they were able to develop and adapt the recipes they loved from France and turn it into the Cajun food you can find in South Louisiana today.
Wow. Thank you for sharing. Helped me understand better.
Cajuns found Creoles already in Louisiana cooking West African/Caribbean style foods with French-Native Louisiana touches through the enslavement of Africans
Facts sha
I think some of your points are factually inaccurate. Arcadians are from Canada and they spoke French but when they did not choose to fight for France they were killed or displaced in Louisiana. Cajuns are European and Creoles are black, Filipino, spanish, or a French mix.
@@evetteleonard5606this too is inaccurate. Blacks can be an admixture of things African, French, Native, Creole/Cajun/Caribbean, White, Roma and so on
All this time I thought Cajun was a type of seasoning
😆 don't feel bad I'm From Louisiana I'm Cajun I live in South Florida now and anytime that I mention I'm Cajun there response is mostly "ooh I like spicy" smh
I would say there is probably a lot more Cajun dishes than Creole most cajuns who cook these dishes speak Cajun French.
This comment should have way more likes
@@creolecajun9988 If you don't mind me asking which dishes are cajun? From my understanding Jambalaya, gumbo, and red beans' n rice all come from West Africa. Jambalaya is a decendant of Jollof rice. Gumbo is a desendant of Okra Soup and also translates to okra in West Africa. And Red Beans and Rice is a close cousin to Stewed Beans and Rice eaten in West Africa and the Caribbean. Tbh as someone of creole/ cuban decent from New Orleans i really like cajun style of cooking more. Y'all season food way better than creoles, the meat is better too. Plus i don't think these dishes would be complete without andouille sausage, tassos, and cajun style roux. If you go further west pass new orleans the food is better.
@@sagittariusqueen57I agree.People come to New Orleans because its the only big city of Louisiana they have authentic diahes here that are perfect3d only in New Orleans however each southern City west of New Orleans all has a signature dish there known for Cajuns cook off the land and they will slow cook it in grease sometimes with a roux base soup.
Cajun Dishes are
Saucpucante,Shodan,Boudin,Crawfish Etoufee..and about a thousand more recipes come from Cajun cooking.. Dishes like Gumbo & Jambaylayaa are popular Cajun Dishes as well they were traditional west African by way of Hatians to Louisiana and adopted from other places but I can tell you they were perfected here.My wife if Hatian much West African and west indies cooking in her arsonal but when compared to cajun cooking there is no comparison and that goes for many other cooking..Our dishes are cooked with lots of oil and very similar to Hatian dishes just much more options of food and spice to choose from Cayanne Pepper is our favorite choice of heat over cooking Bell Peppers until there sweet is also a signature method of French Cajun food. I was raised in Baton Rouge my father is from New Orleans
@@sagittariusqueen57 if you like to lnow some of the differences in Creole and Cajun fpod and a brief history of Cajuns this is a link that you may find interesting..Generally speaking all Cajun food is wutever they can catch either in the rivers or Bayous from Cat Fish and Crawfish to Aligator and shaping tutl3 g3neraly using the Holly trinity (Bell pepper,green onion,& Cellery,soemtimes garlic" Cayanne pepper choice of spice..all mixed in a pot either slow cook in a good bit of oil or in a roux soup base..

There is no such thing as Cajun cuisine. Cajuns eat creole cuisine. The traditional cuisine of Louisiana is called creole, not Cajun. Creoles are the native-born people of Louisiana regardless of race or ancestry, usually those with roots in colonial Louisiana. That makes Cajuns into Creoles. However, the food that Cajuns eat is not solely or mostly from Acadians. It’s a mixture of influences from all the peoples that settled old Louisiana such as the French, Spanish, Acadians, Québécois, Germans, Caribbeans, Native Americans , Africans and there is even some influence from Italians. The name of this cuisine is called creole. Cajun cuisine is a non-exist at thing. Cajuns eat creole cuisine like the rest of us in south Louisiana.
I came here after the cajun food special at Binging with Babish lol
Cajuns make good gravys.
Cajun actually originates in Atlantic Canada, formally known as Acadia. Cajun comes from the word 'Acadian' but the locals in Louisiana had trouble pronouncing that and just started to call them 'cajuns' instead.
Cajun food is creole food. Creole’s were here long before cajuns were even a thing.
I love the shrimps.
To me Cajun food is really just Creole food but for some reason yall call it Cajun
I make my crew stews, with clean fish, turkey, and chicken, with vegetables. I love my Cajun and Italian herbs. 💌👍 Yum/ yam Art of cooking.
I font think people from New Orleans even understand what true Cajun food is..For instance. A Cajun Ponce or Chaudin...most people in New Orleans would have never even heard of that moreless know how to cook it. I love both Foods but Cajun Food is my favorite.
New Orleans is more of a Creole land. Most Cajuns live around the Lafayette areas
@@danielbenoit9750 Cajun's live in all of South Louisiana including south of New Orleans including East Texas with New Orleans being the exception
White people don’t cook that good lol
So gumbo is creole and fried alligator is cajun?
Creole is black soul food cajun is white acadian style food
Both tastes so good
@@Adventour04 youre missing their meaning in this context, they specifically mean Louisiana Creole in this instance, not the many other types. They did not signify which because well... it shouldve been obvious.
Wrong. Cajun is way better than creole food sorry to say. I’ve tasted jambalaya that had too much tomato’s and wondered why and also their gumbo wasn’t good but it’s just how creoles make it. Creole’s Okra on the other hand is really good, but Cajun is better
@@Mariahh016 where u from I'm from acadia
@@Mariahh016 exactly Lafayette food is way better than New Orleans
Basically Cajun is better
Honestly we can't have one with the other
Absolutely not
Waste of time.
spare me
