pernildoes 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!

American food preferences?
Which American cuisine do you like the best? Here are the options:
~ New England (clam chowder, boiled dinners, baked beans, lobster, maple syrup, etc.)
~ New York Deli style (mostly German/Jewish cuisine)
~ Pennsylvania Amish (doughnuts, egg noodles, etc.)
~ Southern (Chesapeake seafood, BBQ, Smithfield ham, Low Country, Cajun/Creole, Appalachian, cornbread, biscuits, grits, blackberry cobbler, etc.)
~ Southwestern (AKA Tex-Mex)
~ Midwestern (basic meat and potatoes type dishes, Chicago deep dish pizza, Pierogies, etc.)
This is done out of boredom, just curious.

why is cajun food so spicy?
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.
