I will never understand the outrage people get when they see others prepare food differently.

It's because cajuns take a lot of pride in their cooking and when they see something like crawfish dusting, tomatoes in gumbo, jambalaya "sauce", etc. being presented as "cajun", it touches a nerve. Especially when non-cajuns try food prepared in the manners listed above and are disappointed and write-off cajun food as over-hyped.

My neighbor from TX HATED crawfish for years, until he actually tried some that were properly boiled with me. Now he's at every crawfish boil and eats more than most people.
