Louisiana's favorite one-pot dish varies some from cook to cook, but the main distinction lies between the Cajun and Creole preperations. In New Orleans and the surrounding regions, Creole cooks make a âredâ jambalaya that starts with meat and the âtrinityâ of onion, celery, and bell pepper. Seafood and tomatoes are then added, followed by equal portions of rice and stock. In the Louisiana bayous, where tomatoes were likely once very hard to come by, the jambalaya of Cajun origin begins with smoked meat browned in a cast-iron pot, providing this variation with its distinctive flavor and earthy hue.

A mechanical watch which is neither self-winding nor electrically driven is called a manual watch. Most mechanical watches manufactured today are self-winding.
