"I've only been down to Louisiana once, but I fell in love with New Orleans. There are a couple of good Cajun restaurants here in NYC (another gret part of living here!) that I visit every now and then."

Heh--REAL Cajun food is not to be found very easily in New Orleans. Brought yourself to Ville Platte, Lafayette, or just about any small town north and west of New Orleans to find the GOOD STUFF. Not that New Orleans food isn't pretty good--just that it is more Creole than Cajun.

I stand corrected. I wish I could visit all the places mentioned. I'm getting hungry!

Truth is, you're making my original point on this thread better then I could. The fact that there are real differences between Cajun and Creole culture just illustrates my point. We have more culture then the French could ever imagine.
