Cajun- The cuisine of the descendents of the Acadian French people who migrated to South Louisiana from Nova Scotia. The cuisine is characterized by the use of pork fat, heavy use of cayenne pepper and hot sauces, and indigenous wildlife and plants.
Creole- The cuisine of the French upper class in South Louisiana, based more on traditional French cooking. It is characterized by the use of butter instead of pork fat and generally is not as heavily spiced as Cajun cuisine.
Creole cuisine was heavily influenced by the other cultural groups in New Orleans such as the Spanish and other Europeans, Caribbean Islanders, Africans, African-Americans, and Native Americans.
