Gumbo is one of the most beloved entrees here in the great state of Louisiana. But there are some hard-fast rules to follow when cooking, serving and eating this tasty delight!
Part of the fun of traveling to different parts of the word is trying the food. Here in the South, the cuisine can very greatly state to state. In this video, the folks over at Facts have collected a great sampling of Southern food, including gumbo, and had some Irish folks taste test them. The results are pretty great!
Another food company is attempting to dip its proverbial toe into the bayou of south Louisiana with a Cajun Gumbo and Rice Mix. It's not being well-received by Louisiana folks. It's not pretty.
The United Way of Acadiana Gumbo Cookoff is not only a great fundraiser for the community, it is also an incredible networking opportunity for industries in the area.
Gumbo is literally ingrained in Southern culture, so when people mess with the traditional recipe it tends to make Southerners (particularly Cajuns) very angry.
The best thing about cold weather in south Louisiana is the food! Gumbo is the go-to favorite, but that's just the beginning. We Cajuns know a lot, and we know even more about what tastes good and what warms us up when the temps drop.
