Cajun Gumbo My Way! Don’t cry about it you big baby. It’s only the best Gumbo ever. Not burnt.

Gumbo is a stew popular in the U.S. state of Louisiana, and that state's official state cuisine. Gumbo consists primarily of a strongly-flavored, roux-based stock, meat or shellfish, a thickener, and what Louisianians call the "Holy Trinity" of vegetables, namely celery, bell peppers, and onions. Gumbo is often categorized by the type of thickener used, whether okra or filé powder. The dish derived its name from Louisiana French, which may have derived the name from a source such as either a word from a Bantu language for okra or the Choctaw word for filé (kombo).
