These recipes, all contain Gumbo as a major wild food ingredient.
Gumbo is a thick, gelatinous stew originating from Louisiana in the southern United States. It is generally made with chicken, fish, pork, turkey or seafood and thickened with okra. t's typically spicy and slightly smoky in flavour, as is much of Cajun cuisine. It's likely, however, that gumbo (a stew with beef and thickened with okra originates in West Africa and the Senegalese dish of Nyeleng may represent the fore-runner of all gumbos.
Traditionally gumbos are thickened with either okra, sassafras leaves (in the form of filé powder) or roux. Indeed, the word gumbo itself derives from the Central Bantu word kigombo (okra) of equatorial central and western Africa and survives in the Nigerian dish of Sauce Gumbo (okra stew).
