Gumbo

f we've learned anything about south Louisianians and gumbo is that you don't want to get between the two.

It's official: Louisiana doesn't put up with bad gumbo.

We went on Facebook and asked y'all what is your favorite cold weather South Louisiana dish to cook. Here are the top three.

We fell down a rabbit hole of stock images, where every picture of what they call gumbo was worse than the last. Somebody hold us. We need a hug.

Over the weekend I attempted to cook my first crawfish pot of gumbo to cook for 50 people. Here is how you do it!

Gumbo is good. Jambalaya is good. But have you heard of Gumbolaya? Hopefully not, because its madness will seep into your very soul and make your heart weep.

Even if it won't be cold enough to see your breath it will still be cooler and a nice reminder that hurricane season can't last forever.

Another food company is attempting to dip its proverbial toe into the bayou of south Louisiana with a Cajun Gumbo and Rice Mix. It's not being well-received by Louisiana folks. It's not pretty.

Gumbo is not soup, and if there's no juice it's just rice and gravy.

Gumbo is literally ingrained in Southern culture, so when people mess with the traditional recipe it tends to make Southerners (particularly Cajuns) very angry.

The best thing about cold weather in south Louisiana is the food! Gumbo is the go-to favorite, but that's just the beginning. We Cajuns know a lot, and we know even more about what tastes good and what warms us up when the temps drop.
