Not that un-common, I have a couple buddies who are the same way. They say the old family recipes never used it. Always made me wonder if Bell Pepper and Celery may have not been readily available way back when in certain areas............either way, whatever floats your boat!!

My mother and grandmother in Abbeville always used just onions in most cajun dishes. Not sure why, but that's what they learned from their mother's and grandmothers.

Those who grew up in the trilogy mode probably say the same. Maybe it's a geographical thing?
