The Real Story of Gumbo, Okra, and Filé

Gumbo is closely associated with Louisiana and with Cajun cuisine. But it's actually far older than the Cajun presence in Louisiana, and it has a much broader regional footprint. It's a prime example of how West African foodways took root in the Southern colonies and, over time, gave birth to some of the region's most iconic dishes.
