WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CREOLE AND CAJUN FOOD?

They seem pretty similar to me . Cajun food originated with the French who settled in Canada but were then exiled and went down to Louisiana and began combining their French culinary traditions with American cuisine Cajuns were all French Canadians , the Creole culture refers the to a mix of the colonial French and Spanish settlers but also the enslved persons bought from Africa , and over time they mingled and bagan to influence each other's cooking Cajon food is more French and generally hotter , where as Creole food is generally like a melting pot of flavours and creamy , using lots of tomatoes .
