S. and how they're influenced by the different cultures that settled in each area. In particular I wanna see you talk about my hometown food Cincinnati Chili. No beans, but has cinnamon and chocolate in it! It comes from the Greeks and Germans who predominantly settled in the area!

Here in Brazil, a place that also has a very tragic slavery history, we use Okra in a bunch of traditional dishes, my favorite is Chicken with Okra, usually served with rice and beans(but you can say that about any brazilian dish, and the name is closer to the west african one, we call it quiabo (pronounced keabo)

My Cajun Mimi doesn't even use okra or file. It's just brick roux, protein (chicken, sausage, and/or shrimp, the trinity (green bell pepper, onion, celery, green onion, salt, and an ungodly amount of black pepper over white rice. Make it more like a soup than a stew and I prefer it immensely to thicker gumbo.

He hasn t had the right gumbo. If you want the best gumbo or Cajun/creole food you have to get invited to someone s mama s house and not some random restaurant. At least this is what most tell the tourist.
Even that can be hit or miss. as he said no one does theirs quite the same.

Maybe its a my New Orleans family thing but I have never had Okra in Gumbo and I've never actually put file in gumbo either. Shrimp Creole now that's where they both show up, but I've always boiled the Okra a little first to remove most of the slimy texture.

Adam I m from Louisiana and your plate of gumbo is way to fancy, you usually put it In a bowl with the rice and gumbo and mix it up. Some people (including me) sometimes get potato salad after you mix and drop a dap if it on top and eat it like that
reply

gumbo is def suited for contemporary life. throw stuff in, forget about it for a couple hours, then watch as ur meal for the week has been reduced to 3 days because it boiled over. serve with too much rice to compensate the broken dream
reply

Quiabo! Or at least, that's what's named in Brazil: -P
I was really surprised to see it used in American and South East Asian cuisines, and used in such different ways than in South America. Looking up for this week's recipe!

You never mix seafood with landfood. If you do shrimp it's all fish oysters and the like. If you do andui, you use chicken. SMH, I know you don't really like it, but you put all the weird effort elsewhere to get things authentic.
reply

I really really hate the slimy texture, and most of the people I know do too. But I was extremely surprised that it is actually considered desirable, and even adored in many cultures. The more you know.
