A Cajun likes fiddles and accordions in his music, plenty of pepper on his court bouillon, shrimp in his nets, speed in his horses, neighborliness in his neighbors and love in his home.

A Cajun dislikes people who don't laugh enough, fish enough, or enjoy enough of all the good things God has given the Cajun Country.

A link with a proud past, a Cajun is a man of tolerance who will let the world go its way if the world will let him go his. He is a man of great friendliness who will give you the crawfish off his table, the Sac-au-Lait off his hook or the shirt off his back.

But if you cross a Cajun, he'll give you the back of his hand or the toe of his boot. If he likes you, he'll give you the whole wide, wonderful world.
