In Louisiana probably. In Siberia it's whale blubber.

In your opinion, obviously, but the vast majority of the world doesn't know what gumbo is.

A shrimp, potato and corn chowder sounds pretty good to me.

A homemade chicken noodle soup with grilled cheese ain't to shabby either.

I do love a good gumbo when it's cold. Pho is a close second, though.

It's the ultimate all year round food if you have AC.

I make 3 gumbo's.

Chicken and Sausage = for an easy, on the spot gumbo. Made stock for it once, and came to the conclusion that homemade chicken stock tastes the exact same as the store bought kitchen basics stock.
Seafood = Wife is from the New Orleans area and she prefers this, and i'll make it now and then. Just recently got about 40 lbs of shrimp from her cousin who is a shrimper, so i'm picking up some lump crab meat and making some sunday. Going to make the stock Thursday or Friday.
Smoked Duck and Deer Sausage Gumbo = Usually make this at Christmas. Take a couple farm ducks, smoke them for 3 hours. Put a drip pan below to collect any fat that comes off. I later reuse that fat for the roux, mixed with some vegetable oil. Debone the ducks then throw all the pieces and skin in the stock pot as well as the vegetables that were stuffed inside the ducks. I chop all my vegetables and reserve the trimmings and put that in the stock as well, then spice it up. Makes an incredible gumbo that many family and friends request that i do yearly now.

My Brother in law got me some doves, and he's supposed to take me duck hunting later this year, so i plan on using the dove and duck in the gumbo. Think i'll butterfly the dove's and cook them before adding to the gumbo.

I love gumbo season.
