What is the difference between Cajun and Creole products?
While frequently confused, the two styles are distinct: Creole cuisine is often called 'city food,' known for its sophisticated, cosmopolitan roots and the use of tomatoes in its sauces and gumbos. Cajun cuisine is 'country food'—a rustic, one-pot tradition centered on smoked meats, heavy seasoning, and hearty staples like boudin, andouille, and jambalaya.
