National Gumbo Day
October 12, 2024
While many think that everything coming from New Orleans has a French influence, that’s not necessarily the case with gumbo.With roots in African culture, the dish called gumbo offers a unique, spicy flavor that offers a delicious foray into Southern, Cajun cooking.
Origin: Originating in southern Louisiana during the 18th century, Gumbo typically consists of strongly-flavored stock with meat or shellfish, a thickener, and seasoned vegetables. The seasoned vegetables may include celery, bell peppers, and onions.
