National Gumbo Day
National Gumbo Day is celebrated on October 12th. It’s a time to appreciate this heavily seasoned, savory state dish of Louisiana.
Although, gumbo is a perfect bit of indulgence any day, anywhere! Gumbo typically consists of strongly-flavored stock with meat or shellfish, a thickener, and seasoned vegetables.
The seasoned vegetables may include celery, bell peppers, and onions. In the Cajun cuisine, the trio is known as the “holy trinity. Most people serve gumbo over rice.
Curl up on the couch and savor the flavors on National Gumbo Day, or enjoy with family and friends.
