re: Gumbo terminology

Along with being kicked out of some of the coolest places in the world, us Cajuns ripped off people along the way. The term "gumbo" is ripped off from Africans(haven't they been persecuted enough,?)from which they ripped off from the Portuguese, and is synonymous with okra, one of the finest vegetables Allah ever created.

The word Gumbo is derived from the African word for Okra. So, how can you have a dish named for okra and not have okra as an ingredient? And if the okra makes it "slimy" you don't know what you're doing.
The final word is that if it doesn't contain okra, it's stew or whatever else you want to call it. It doesn't mean it's not an outstanding dish, it's just technically not "Gumbo". I don't care what anyone says.

It's juice. It's stock before it's added to the roux.
Okra is not slimy if it's cooked properly. Heat it in a skillet first to deslime it.
Okra does not have to be in gumbo to be called gumbo. Okra is typically only used in seafood gumbo.
There it is.....

I've been catering for 25 years and that ^^^ right there might be the stupidest fricking thing I've ever heard concerning cooking.

It's from the Choctaw word for sassafras (file). But thanks for playing....

Call it gravy.
And gumbo is the Bantu word for Okra. Without okra it's not gumbo.

In the Bantu language spoken by many of the slaves from West Africa, the vegetable okra was known as ki ngombo or quingombo; the word is akin to the Umbundu ochinggômbo and the Tshiluba chinggômbô "okra".

Dude, we're talking Cajuns here. We are the unwashed and unwanted. There ain't nothing "technical" about Cajun food. It's all derived from poor people making something out of nothing. Your shoe cold be a gumbo, and I've known some Cajun women that would make you want seconds of that shoe. :lol:

Sounds like you could use a little lesson in Cajun History. I question your Cajun-hood.
But, I've had enough of the posers on this thread. There are a few who know.
Bash away...

Wow dude. Just because you know the origin of a word from hundreds of years ago doesn't mean the word is still used in the exact same context. That's just ignorant.
