Cajun
Cajun is short for the French pronunciation of Acadian. It refers to the people and culture descended from Acadian refugees forced out of what is now Nova Scotia in the 1750s. Many settled in South Louisiana. Eventually many Cajuns moved to New Orleans, bringing their food, music and joie de vivre with them.
