Gumbo is a kind of spicy soup type stew, served with a little rice. Its name comes from Africans imported for the awful slavery trade. Some reckon it should have okra, but this is not always used.
Basic ingredients can include: fish heads, tails and trimmings, onions, carrots, celery, leek, prawn shells and heads : all for the fish stock. Andouille (spicy sausage), smoked pork or bacon, garlic and a list of other herbs and spices. Fresh tomatoes pureed, large prawns, oysters, crab meat and crayfish (freshwater) and boudin - a sausage made from minced crawfish.

The word gumbo comes from a old creole word "quigombo" which means Okra.
In order for the soup to "set" orka must be used.

It's okra (about the only way that okra tastes good) mixed with whatever you have on hand as meat.
