- Abstract:
- Gumbo has become the metaphorical melting pot of Louisiana, often reducing complex histories to simple lists of ingredients. This essay offers a more complex history of the dish itself, as well as refuting some of the common misconceptions about the dish and Louisiana foodways found in popular media.
