waht is gumbo
Gumbo is a veritable art form in Louisiana. There are as many gumbo recipes as there are cooks.. Gumbo is a heavily seasoned soup or stew that combines several varieties of meat or seafood with a sauce or gravy.Any combination of meat or seafood can be used. Meat-based gumbo may consist of chicken, duck, squirrel, or rabbit, with oysters occasionally added.eafood-based gumbo generally has shrimp, crabmeat, and sometimes oysters. Andouille sausage is often added to both meat and seafood gumbos to provide  piquancy, substance, and an additional layer of flavor to the dish. With the exception of sausage and ham, beef and pork are almost never used.
