English term or phrase: See the Cajuns, for instance....
'If you want to be successful, you need to break through! See the Cajuns, for instance, after being deported by the British to Louisiana, they had to adapt their French northern recipes to whatever was available in hot Louisiana. In other words, if you don´t have “roux”, create yours.'

Ik moet deze zin lokaliseren en de culturele verwijzing van de Cajuns vertalen met iets vergelijkbaars. Ik ben even inspiratieloos. Iemand nog goede ideeën?
