quote:I 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.
Would anything outside of the Greater New Orleans area really qualify as Creole?
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
