Hey! I think gumbo is a mash up of flavors from Louisiana but it also has a mix of African, French, Spanish, and Native American influences.

Yes.... gumbo is a fragrant soup-stew emblematic of Louisiana's Creole culinary tradition, melds influences from African, American Indian, and European cuisines. Its name derives from a Bantu term signifying okra, a key ingredient renowned for its thickening properties in the dish's sauce.
