Cheers! There’s a lot of reading material out there. This “what is creole?” debate always pops up on here every few months. It’s interesting to me because on my grandma’s side im cajun and my grandfather’s side came here straight from the Bordeaux area in the 1880s. My grandma’s side also has some Italian.

My grandmothers side is pure Cajun. My grandfather’s dad was smuggled out of Italy by priests to avoid fighting for the Germans in WW1 and brought to New Orleans to stay with a catholic family who sponsored him. He spoke 7 languages and joined the US military as a translator.
