The cajun culture is a culture like any other culture. They have their own food, traditions, superstitions and heritage. They even have their own language.

Here are some of their superstitions and traditions.

• If you cut a potato in half and rub the juice on a wart and you throw it over your shoulder not looking where it fell it is sure to get rid of the wart

• If a pregnant woman is sad about seeing a person with a type of handicap, her child would be born with the same exact handicap

Some superstitions have to with a cross which goes back to their strong religious beliefs. Such as:

• To make sure someone will never come back to your home - as they leave throw salt in the form of a cross.

• To break up a tornado into pieces, make a cross nine times with 2 knives

• "The traditional Christmas dinner" is Gumbo.

• Since it is wrong to throw food, those who dropped food should bless it before they eat it.
