We're tough here. They can teach those northern states how to cook. I used to live in the midwest for a while, they could use the infusion of flavor. ;)
I once worked for a woman in northern Virginia for whom mild taco sauce was too spicy for her palate. I told her we used to joke about 'you know you're a yankee if...Heinz ketchup is SPICY!' and she pondered, then said, "you know, it is kinda."

That is one of the benefits for us here in Texas. The culinary prowess of Cajuns is welcomed. We will see a fusion of food. Chili con Gator and mudbug taco salad actually sound good!
I stand amended - lol
