I’m doing a project about Louisiana food and i really need this question answered! please help me any websites or personal opinion is great thanks

when Cajuns moved from Canada into Louisiana they we poor country folks.and the land on which they settled was not the best..usually in the swampy areas…where most foods they were accustomed to eating would not grow…so they ate what was available to them and things that could be grown in that area,,like alligator…and rice..and okra…as time went by the food was influenced by other cultures like the Spanish and native American,,who introduced the heat factor to Cajun cooking.
