I am in Louisiana but am not cajun,,just like the name. My background is the classic anglo saxon southerner from the 1700's living in Louisiana before it was a part of the US. Farmers kind of people till three generations ago. And South Louisiana is not really a part of the US in my mind,,it is the northern Caribbean if you ask me. I never ate cajun food till I was grown up,,my mother had disdain for gumbo and that kind of thing. Altho we did eat red beans a rice with sausage. She never spiced things up. We were more like Mississippians or Alabamans in that respect.

(Gasp) Anything that good must be sinful, I'd guess.
