The stew of La. below I-10 is a different beast to a Yankee Otis or Geauxt stew. Carrots and potatoes will not be in a sub 10 stew.

This cajun stew just seems like a thicker gumbo to me, which is kinda boring.

I've always thought of stews having 1 meat and lots of vegetables.

And that sounds like beef soup to me.

An extra thick almost scorched gumbo. Yum.

Note the word "ALMOST".

pork backbone stew




no veggies needed

I will have to have a consultstion with Marie s to what direction my thumbs should point

Well, sub I-10 people make stews that are almost the same as their gumbos. That's awful boring.

I never grew up eating much gumbos, mostly we just ate stews. And that is what my grandparents(both sides of the family) made (a lot of stews). And it was more of what was called a cajun (dark thick roux with no veggies except maybe the trinity)stew in this tread even though we weren't cajun. I guess it just depends on where you grew up. Didn't know this was a heated topic but I guess this is the internet.

even though it is similar ingredients, they don't really taste alike. when i'm eating a cajun stew, i'm not thinking "this just tastes like a thicker gumbo." the flavor profile, at least the way my family does it, is different.

This. It doesn't taste the same at all to me.
