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.
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 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.
