    Cajun seasoning

    Before talking about Cajun seasoning, lets first understand the origin of both Cajun and Creole. Both ethnic communities currently reside in Louisiana, USA. Both communities originate from immigrants of the French colonies in North America, namely in USA and Canada. The Acadians later known as Cajuns were one of first Europeans to come and settle in Canada, particularly in Nova Scotia and areas nearby collectively then called Acadia. They were all from France. The Creole were also immigrants from France, who settled in Louisiana which was another French colony. This one had a huge population African slaves.
