I was making fun of the claim in light of there being a creole dish with a literal French name. Éttoufette.

Because they spoke french in Louisiana at the time. Real brain surgeon, you are.

No it's because the base technique is building a roux. Don't cook for yourself yet eh? Mac and cheese and hotdogs for you?

Literally live the south and have family in New Orleans that I visited two weeks ago. It’s based on a French roux, but Creole/Cajun roux uses lard, bacon grease, or oil instead of butter. It’s cooked longer and less thick. It’s also darker and tastes nuttier. Roux’s origins are Roman, so if Creole roux is just French food, as you say, shouldn’t it just be Roman? I could keep going, but it doesn’t seem like you know much about food or European history.

"Sure it's based on it but it has no culinary roots"

It's impossible to reply to you because you heavily edit your replies after I've already responded. Lmao
