Yep those too. Your kitchen sounds like mine. The collards and turnips I’ve been growing have been really good this year. I’ve canned 14 quarts so far and will probably get 14-20 quarts more before the hard freeze. We love greens, cornbread, soups and stews in the winter.
It always is.
Why? I love seafood gumbo, even if it's only shrimp (though, crab, shrimp and crawfish is the stuff). But you reminded me. I was at a Cajun festival in the Texas hill country a few weeks ago. It was centered around a gumbo cooking contest. Three classes. Amateur, professional, and culinary groups. That last one meant high school clubs. The contest is judged by popular vote from the attendees. Being the sucker I am I bought from all the kids. One was so anxious to get my opinion about their creation. They handed me a cup of something that looked vaguely like gumbo, but it had.... shredded carrots in it. WTH?!?
It tasted as bad as I feared.
