      I remember him well. Justin was not born Cajun though he was Catholic and grew up nearby in The Florida parishes which are not among the Cajun Parishes but are heavily influenced by both Cajun and Creole food Culture do to migration over time so he spent a lot of time around them. But Justin Wilson was also a segregationist whom many felt took advantage of and disrespected Cajun culture.
      His accent is a very strong deep south accent btw not Cajun, but is definitely a transitional French creole influenced Louisiana version of it. Cajun English today sounds quite Southern but is also very distinctive and is significantly French influenced but more like upper Midwest English is German and Norwegian influenced rather then as a Cajun French accent in English. It is not like the standard lower South accent however. In other words, Cajun English today is a uneque and indigenous type of regional Southerner accent and dialect. It is now widely spoken across most of southern and parts of central Louisiana even by many of those without French Ancestry.

      Truthfully he was a segregationist, which I’m willing to overlook given the time and area he was raised in, and wasn’t even Cajun himself. He was welsh on his dad's side and his mom had a maiden name (Toadvin) which indicates ancestry from Guernsey but otherwise her genealogy couldn’t be traced properly. What is certain is that neither of his parents were French or Acadian. Justin adopted the Cajun personality and language as part of an act, which was very displeasing to some Cajun people who felt his act was a poor caricature and degrading to Cajun people. That said, he was a great cook and a good entertainer.

      He wasn't born Cajun at least not on his father's side though his mother may have been part Cajun. Justin was however a racial segregationist and many felt he also appropriated, degraded and disrespected Cajun culture. His accent was French Louisiana influenced transitional Deep Southernern but was also not a cajun accent btw.

    • @jKLa
      @jKLa Před rokem +1

      Justin was however Catholic and from rural Southern Louisiana. But he wasn't from the Cajun Parishes but rather nearby in the Florida parishes from Roseland, in an area where many Cajuns have migrated over time and greatly influenced the culture. He also spent a great deal of time among the Cajuns. He was certainly part of and from the "Louisiana French" southern culture in the broad sense of the word, if not of French ancestry himself, though he may have had some.

    •In this video Justin forgot to tell us how much wine to use for the Potatoes dish... my recipe card says: 1 cup Sauterne. Add the wine after you've made all the layers. Then put the prepared dish into the preheated 375° F. oven to bake 1 hour.
    My notes:
    •Around 2010, I started using Chenin Blanc wine, instead of Sauterne, with outstanding taste results.
    •A few times I've used Parmesan cheese instead of the Romano. Very good flavor. I like the tang of the Romano, more.

    • @jKLa
      @jKLa Před rokem

      It's not actually a Cajun accent though, to be clear. Justin Wilson was not born Cajun but was Catholic and came from the nearby Florida parishes in an area greatly influenced by migration of Cajuns over time. However he spoke with a French Creole and Cajun influenced but mostly Deep South accent, very common to that part of Louisiana. The true Cajun English Accent is different, still Southern sounding but also very uneque and French influenced but now indigenous to the region so spoken by many not of Cajun ancestry as well.
