What's The Difference Between Cajun Food And Creole Food? - Delish
There are more than you might think.
While it may seem difficult to point to the differences between Creole and Cajun food, it's...not. Here, a breakdown of where each cuisine originated, what the differences are, and where to find the best of each.
Where did Cajun food come from?
To be clear, both Cajun and Creole food come from Louisiana. That said, Cajun food can be traced to "the Acadiana region of southwest Louisiana," Southern Living reports. It can be found across the state, but is typically referred to as "country food," distinguishable by its hearty, mostly one-pot dishes.
How about Creole food?
Contrastingly, The Spruce Eats confirms, Creole food is "city food." It began in New Orleans and is associated more with seafood than with meat.
