Creole refers to those of mixed racial heritage, specifically Caribbean black and European white. It also refers to the pidgin language of these peoples, and finally to their fusion cuisine.

“Cajun” is derivative of “Arcadian.” Though Arcadia harkens back to Greece, in this instance, it refers to Canadian settlers who fled to French Louisiana to escape persecution during the conflict between England and France for control of Canada. Those who settled and subsisted on what they could harvest from the bayous developed a patois from which we take “Cajun.”

And you will still find Arcadian villages on the Nova Scotia coastlines, and they talk alot like their southern brethren.

Historically, Creole and Cajun were one in the same. But, over the years Cajun evolved to identify white Louisiana French from multi Lousiana French now commonly called Creole. But, dang, either one can cook up a storm. They also bleed chickens in the back yard on Friday night, so you can't go ruflling their feathers.

Never could understand much of what my wife's dad said. He talked about 105mph. Still had dialect, and when he talked to his sisters on the phone they would rattle off that broken english crap.
