Gumbo

[JasonGotaProblem]

My wife's request for her birthday dinner was that I make my gumbo. Now I'm not one to toot my horn, but i make a pretty good gumbo. And for my wife's birthday, I wasnt gonna disappoint. She had just one job though, in between the massage and mani pedi I got her, she had to put away the chicken I left out to thaw. Well I guess she was too relaxed. No big deal, I get it. The chicken is a loss though. The good news is I had other stuff in the freezer. So this is a shrimp sausage and redfish gumbo. And in my house you know its gonna be hot.

Oh man it was good.

My record batch size was 5 gallons. That was an all day thing.

AND, if you left the chicken in the fridge, night before, to defrost correctly...

 Forgive me for asking, but what exactly is gumbo ?

Obviously I've lived a sheltered life here in the Pacific NW !!

History or recipe? Both are fairly extensive

I believe it is a southern dish.
My Wife make a Shrimp and Sausage based Gumbo that will knock your socks off.

The roots are African, with slaves in Louisiana introducing it to America, from there it got some French influence. Its the signature dish of new Orleans. it's a stew made from shrimp sausage and chicken usually, with lots of okra, peppers tomatoes, onions, etc. And a good roux is a must.

They sell kits but I always do it from scratch.

The main ingredient though is time.

Maybe it's gum-bo (gum for shrimp, and bo for boar) gum would be short for Gump, and he caught lotta shrimp
