National Gumbo Day
GUMBO
A Creole soup from Louisiana,
thickened with okra pods. “Gumbo” is an African word for okra. Okra came to
America with the slave trade and was introduced to the white population by
African cooks. As with all recipes, there are regional variations and different
styles of gumbo.
