Louisiana Culinary Trails – Seafood Sensations
Bordered by Texas to the west and Cajun Country to the east, southwestern Louisiana has developed its own brand of cooking. Rustic, spicy, and stick-to-your-ribs might best describe the food of this marshland. Dominating menus are fried and boiled seafood, pork stew, catfish courtbouillon, rice dressing, shrimp and okra gumbo, jambalaya, wild game, and lots and lots of rice. This trail zigzags across the southwestern corner of the state, sometimes known as the Louisiana Outback, stopping at a variety of crawfish houses, oyster bars, cafes, and grocery stores.

does anyone know where to eat Cajun food in London? I mean Southern American dishes like Jambalaya, etc…?
I am already aware of place like Big Easy in Chelsea or other Tex Mex restaurant but they don’t really make Cajun food
I haven’t tried anywhere yet myself – it’s on the list of things to do – but I generally use the Timeout website to help me find decent restaurants, among other things. I’ve included a web link to their section on Caribbean food. Hope it helps!

kick ass creole dishes?
I have the desire to cook some deep South foods. I have a lot of rice and some basic creole spices. Someone throw me a recipe for some jambalaya or gumbo or something tasty.
You can find all that stuff and more on the Gumbo pages… written by a New Orleanian.

Cajun food…like it or not?
I love Cajun food!!!
I am a HUGE cajun food fan… I love it all… and I even make a really mean homemade jambalaya right from scratch.
What is Creole, besides black and French, anything else?
Because my grandmother passed away a few years ago but everyone was trying to figure out what she was and her family cooked A LOT of creole foods like gumbo and Jambalaya and both of her parents had white skin but considered themselves black and she had white skin and red hair.
I don’t think she had any French in her though and I was wondering if it could be anything else. I know she had German in her, but I’m not sure if that would make her Creole.
sorry it kind of rambles on………….. ;o)
Hmm* well then I still dunno what she was……. thanks! 
Bunnies shut up, don’t speak on something you don’t know about.
Creole is a term that was given to people mixed with black, and the blood of the original french settlers and in some cases indian or spanish. It was used by white people to distinguish black people from the black/french/spanish/indian mix. It is a term that stuck in the deep south since the french settlers arrived and is still used along with the ethnicity Cajun. That’s…about it.
This dude above me is actually right.
