Cajun or Creole? It's All Great Cajun food is robust, country-style food, found along the bayous of Louisiana, a combination of French and Southern cuisines. Think of heavy, one-pot dishes, like Jambalaya or Crawfish Etouffee, served over steaming rice. Creole food is a distinctive cuisine, created in New Orleans with European and African roots. It is Cajun food's more refined city relative. The French influence is strongest, but the essence of Creole is found in rich sauces, local herbs, red, ripe tomatoes, and the prominent use of seafood, caught in local waters. Think of rich, roux-based Gumbo, Shrimp Creole, Grits and Grillades, Redfish Courtbouillion and more.

Gumbo is probably one of the most popular Cajun dishes. It is made with a roux, onions, bellpeppers, celery and whatever meat is available, such as chicken and andouille (ahn-doo-ee: a Cajun sausage made with pork and spices and smoked), shrimp, crabs and oysters. Water is added to make it like a thick soup. It is usually served in deep bowls with steamed rice.

Jambalaya (Jum-ba-lie-ya) is a dish that is made with rice and any number of other ingredients that may include onions, bellpeppers, celery, smoked sausage, shrimp, ham or andouille and spices. Some say this may have been a dish that the Spanish introduced in the area.

What makes a po-boy special is the bread. A po-boy is made with fresh French bread. Roast beef and shrimp are the most popular fillings for a po-boy, but just about anything can be put inside. If the waiter asks you: "Dressed?" he/she means what do you want on it? Do you want it dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, or do you just want nuttin' on it? The name "po-boy" is a shortened version of "poor boy." The name stems from the fact that a po-boy used to be a very inexpensive way to get a very solid meal.
