by most historical account jambalaya was actually invented in new orleans, although its a pretty close relative to a paella
Wiki is the coolest...
You should look for other origins of the food on the webs. Could be cajun or creole. No definitive answer as is the answer for a lot of our foods.

boudin and hogs head cheese are clearly from the french
I know they do variants of boudin (including blood sausage) and head cheese in the Czech Republic. It's perfectly plausible that boudin and head cheese were not, in fact, spawned by the French.

And I checked 4 or 5 that said it's not definitive. Also, I have like 10 cookbooks that say it's cajun, so it's gotta be.

Nothing. Everything from everywhere was derived from something else, somewhere, even short grain rice which the Chinese had a handle on.Sorry CC.
I didn't google or check cookbooks. I'm just smart.

sure and lots of other countries as well make this claim. but cajuns were french people, so it's not a bad bet to make that those cajuns foods are from the french

Surely, you're not questioning the intelligence of my statement. You don't need to google to figure this out.
Posted on 5/4/11 at 3:30 pm to Gris Gris
Oh, no ma'am. That's not what I was questioning at all.

Since my pronouncement was intelligent, then so am I. Case closed.

You have way too much time on your hands

First thing I thought of..
But what food anywhere is truly authentic? Not many cultures created their own and didnt borrow ideas from other cultures. People have been cooking on this planet for a good while now.
You could probably pick most any dish and see influence from somewhere else.

All food dishes originated with the Geico cavemen.
