What's in your gumbo? Well, it comes in many variations and not every gumbo is alike. Who doesn't like gumbo! It is a dish served in almost every southern Louisiana home and restaurant. Within the September 1764 New Orleans interrogation records of a slave, you will find the earliest known reference to "gumbo". The ingredients and seasonings of each gumbo is what makes it unique. Some say the best gumbo's are the ones that are seasoned to bite back when you eat it.
For a short history of gumbo check out the Southern Foodways web site.
