What were they before Acadians? Oh right, French.

No. You’re drawing lines in all the wrong places, and trying to create distinct categories where none truly exist. Plus ignoring the Spanish influence (LA was a Spanish colony far longer than it was French). And conflating the bayou Cajuns of SE LA (more of whom are truly descended from Acadian refugees) with the creole ignores the lived realities of contemporary folks who still speak French and eat ridiculous amounts of seafood.
Spanish is a huge influence on creole.

No shite, but you think they only settled west of the Vermilion River?

Not only, but for the most part. The Vermillion is a good barrier. Breaux Bridge is an exception.

Acadian Cajuns ARE different than Prairie Cajuns too.

If anything, the Teche creates the eastern Cajun boundary.
But yes, Prairie Cajuns > all others

“Cajun” is literally a mispronunciation of the word “Acadian” .
You’re not a Cajun if you’re not of Acadian descent.
Now, there is a difference between Bayou and Prairie Cajuns.

This board's obsession with their overly smoked sausage where the wood was at the wrong temp always confuses me.
If I wanted something that tasted like only mesquite smoke I'd buy sausage from Texas.
Teets, Kartchners, Rabideaux's are all amazing. It's smoked. It's supposed to have a smoke flavor.
FTR, I've tried probably two dozen TX sausages. Nothing like the aforementioned.

Creole depends on what day of week. Reason the definition of creole changes daily. Creole’s are white, one example people of French ancestry but not from the Cajun migration from Canada. That is one of many

You need to get out a LA map and read some LA settlement history during the colonial period. The initial Acadian exile settlements were NOT to the Attakapas prairies or up the Teche....those settlers came up the MS river and settled the river and spread down Bayou Lafourche. To act as though the old, historic cajun settlement East of the Atchafalaya doesn’t exist is ridiculous.
Prairie doesn’t even open up to large scale settlement until the railroad era. Mamou and Eunice date from 1890-1900. Many of the so-called “cajuns” of the prairie are not descended from actual Acadian exiles. They’re French immigrants, in many cases, but not actual Acadian descendants.
Acadian exiles settled in Assumption and upper Lafourche circa 1755-1765. Lafourche and Terrebonne have some of the highest rates of native french speakers remaining in south Louisiana. This is not “Creole”, but a distinct Bayou cajun folk culture.

No. Just ‘regular’ boudin

Sonic. Tomorrow. 9am. Pack a lunch. It will be a long day for you
Honestly I’ve had better rice dressing. It wasn’t flavorful at all.

I’m sure a lot of people in Louisiana have a similar mix, but the Cajun part of your heritage is the Acadians. I have Acadian and French immigrant (non-Acadian), along with some Spanish, Native American, German, and English/Scottish.

This is just flat wrong
Yeah that geography makes no sense. The Vermillion doesn’t separate anything culturally.
Exactly, tell my husband who is from Terrebonne Parish that he is not Cajun.

Maybe you mean the Atchafalaya? Which still isn’t the answer, but at least there are some foodways that might be east or west of the Atchafalaya.

The first exiles settled along bayou teche and up to Opelousas just as early

think there are a couple of pockets outside of New Orleans that call themselves Creole rather than Cajun. I think one of these is around Natchitoches. And remember, Tony Chacherie's is called Creole Seasoning, and he was from Opelousas.
ETA: "The Cane River Colony was a colony founded by Marie Theresa "CoinCoin," a former African slave and the children of her relationship with Claude Thomas Pierre Metoyer, a Frenchman, on Isle Brevelle just south of Natchitoches in central Louisiana."
These folks probably identified as Creole under the second meaning of the term.
St Landry parish around Opelousas/lawtell then up to pointe coupee/avoyelles are just as much creole as Cajun if you go by the true definition. But today only people called creole are black or mixed
It’s an awesome culture though. If you ever have the opportunity go to one of the Sunday trail rides
