Gumbo is often thought to be short for "gumbo filé," which refers to the use of filé powder made from ground sassafras leaves, a traditional thickening agent in the dish. However, it is also linked to the word "gombo," which is the West African term for Okra, a key ingredient in many gumbo recipes. The dish itself is a rich, flavorful stew that reflects the culinary influences of Creole and Cajun cultures in Louisiana.
The most popular varieties of seafood gumbo are Cajun Seafood Gumbo, Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, Shrimp & Crab Gumbo, Mardi Gras Gumbo and Creole Gumbo.
