 | | An authentic Cajun meal is usually a three-potaffair, with one pot dedicated to the main dish, one dedicated to steamed rice, skillet cornbread, or some other grain dish, andthe third containing whatever vegetable is plentiful or available. |
 | | The Acadian refugees, farmers rendered destitute by the British expulsion, had tolearn to live off the land and adapted their French peasant cuisine to local ingredients such as rice, crawfish, and sugar cane.In addition to the obvious Canadian and French peasant influences, Cajun cuisine was influenced by African and Native Americanfood cultures. |
 | | Cajun dishes prepared outside of Louisiana, especially bychefs who are not ethnically Cajun or have never visited or studied Acadiana or NewOrleans (where Cajun dishes are popular) are hotter than their Louisiana counterparts, and lack the flavor of the originaldishes. |
