The Creole food of New Orleans is unlike anything else in the country. It is here European visitors to US more often tan not find food to their liking, if indeed they ever do find any. New Orleans dishes bear little or no resemblance to those of any other part of United States. Somehow this style of food survives in the state of Louisiana, with its headquarters in New Orleans.
For those to whom the early history of the United States is hazy, it may be appropriate to recall that France once owned and settled what is now Louisiana; the food, customs and language of France have survived to the present day. Good use is made of the locak seafood, including shrimp, crabs and oysters. This is the only place in the world where authentic gumbos, files, and jambalayas are to be had, although these dishes have spread throughout the Caribbean. There are about a half dozen famous restaurants in New Orleans where Creole food may be enjoyed in the perfection of fresh ingredients and authentic spices, prepared by cooks who know what to do with them.
