Gumbo
Gumbo comes to us from Louisiana and is part of the states foodie heritage. Gumbo is made up from a rich stock and can have a variety of vegetable and meat ingredients but the "holy trinity" of vegetables (onions, celery, and bell pepper) is considered to be most authentic. Protein in the gumbo can be anything from shrimp, to sausage, to chicken. You'll even find alligator gumbo. The gumbo is thickened with one of three things: file powder (ground sassafras leaves), roux, or okra (a vegetable known for its thickening agent). Gumbo, like chili and barbecue sauce, has strong believers in "right" and "wrong" ways to make it. Our suggestion is to try some recipes and see what you like!
