Cajun vs Creole Cooking?

What are the similarities and differences? Is this type of cooking only found in Louisiana or any other states?

Cajun cook tends to be more French influenced since the Cajuns are descendants of the French Acadians.

Creole cooking is more influenced by African-Caribbean (which include French and Spanish) cooking styles.

But to be honest, there is not really a big difference between the two since they’re all part of the cuisine in Louisiana.

I would say that cajun food can be spicier than creole food, but other than that the two are very similar.

Maybe it’s the cook that’s making the dish?

How long would it take a freighter or cargo ship to travel from New Orleans, Louisiana to Venice, Italy?

I am a fiction writer and my ususal research sources have failed me on this occasion. I’m just looking for a ballpark estimate from New Orleans to Venice with maybe one refueling stop if necessary.

It depends entirely on how fast the ship can travel. A ship that travels at 20 knots covers about 500 miles per day, and would make it from New Orleans to Venice in about 14 days. A ship moving at 10 knots would take twice the time. And so on.

Note that a realistic "refueling stop" would be the port of Algeciras, in southern Spain. That would be about 9 days out from New Orleans at 20 knots. When passenger liners traveled between the Med and NY they would stop at Algeciras before starting the trans-Atlantic "speed run".

Remember that it takes a ship 8 to 12 hours to travel from New Orleans to the mouth of the Mississippi. A "pilot" is required for that trip: http://www.crescentpilots.com/

Hot Pepper (1973)

The great French accordionist, Clifton Chenier, mixes rock and blues with his unique version of Zydeco music, a pulsating combination of Cajun French with African undertones. The film winds his music through the bayous and byways of the countryside.
