Summary: Gumbo is an American cuisine that is generally associated with Louisiana. The word Gumbo comes from the African Bantu dialect word for okra - “kigombo”. African natives, enslaved in Louisiana during the slave trade, brought with them from Africa the knowledge of how to make their kigombo soup, which was a thin soup with fish, okra, plantains, and bananas; this soup was later influenced by a number of cultures including the Spanish and the French. Today the dish is a thick soup with a wonderful array of spices, but there are many different varieties of Gumbo and many more family recipes of each variety. One such variety is the Haitian Gumbo or Caribbean Gumbo.
