It's another triple-decker. I like those kind. It's also crustless, but that is not relevant to me since I've never minded them. It looks to be a kind of chicken salad on one layer with some ham and lettuce on the other. It seems appetizing enough.
On tasting, it is decent, tastes good, a nice chicken salad with a piece of ham and some lettuce. I have no idea what makes this sandwich Cajun. I always just thought Cajun spice meant a lot of black pepper or okra or alligator meat, but this doesn't have any of that. Then again, I just may not be wise in the ways of Cajun food.
Cajun is one of the most mysterious cultures to me. I have never met a Cajun person. I only know Cajun people from TV. I remember there used to be a TV chef named Justin Henry who would get very excited when he made food and say "OOOO-EEEEE!". There's also an X-Men guy who throws exploding cards and talks like that. It's great when Cajun people pronounce something ending with 'n', like "chicken" they say the 'n' in a way that comes out of the nose more than the mouth and is impossible to write in English and it sounds like "Cheeekooohn". It's a super-cool accent in my book. When I think of Cajun people, I think of a big guy with a beard wearing overalls with no shirt and a very old floppy wide-brim hat raping Ned Beatty in that movie "Deliverance". I'm not even sure if that was Cajun people or just general garden-variety hillbillies doing the raping. I'll make a mental note to learn the difference.
That being said, I don't think whoever thought of this sandwich knows much more about Cajun stuff than I do. It's a chicken salad sandwich, but I agree the name makes it sound more appealing. It's a decent sandwich, good texture and the bread is fresh. I'm OK with this purchase. 4 stars (deduction for not being spectacular)
