An American book I have (Southern Food: At Home, on the Road, in History, by John Egerton) says this about the dish called gumbo: <i>The wonderful thing about gumbo is that it welcomes and assimilates so many diverse flavors. You can use duck, oysters, chicken, smoked sausage, or other meats and seafoods. Hot peppers, garlic, and numerous spices are favored by some cooks. Every good Louisiana cook seems almost honor-bound to have a distinctive "signature" gumbo, with its formula a closely guarded secret.</i>Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.com
