Camp out ALERT

[JoeSparky]

All cruise ships are GFZ's, because we have to think about the children.

And so are most of those foreign nations they make port in!

My Sweet Baboo and I were stationed together in the Deep South for years. Our marriage is based on gumbo and mud bugs. Always take file gumbo.

Looking forward to the file`. I bet no one knows how to say it correctly at the campout. I did not think anyone knew what that was in this part of the country. Fort Polk ??? did you know the MPs at Polk will arrest you and escort you off the base for driving a semi through the residential housing area no matter how many times you tell them you had bad directions, LOL, ask me how I know that LOL

I will bring a rice cooker if you want.

I lived for a year down in Morgan City working offshore as a Commercial Deep sea diver in the oil fields. I well remember the bugs/snakes/Nutria/Alligators.........but best of all was the food

Bought my very first 1911 down there as soon as I turned 21. Been in love with them ever since.

I'll bet you rode the boat out of Dulac more than once.

I was a diver in the US Navy and carried the skill with me when I joined the US Army.


for all you non-Acadians.....it's pronounced "feelay" Gumbo

 

[OlGutshotWilly]

That's actually pretty interesting. I went and talked to the Navy recruiter and then took my ASVAB's. I wanted to be a diver......they wanted me to become a nuclear tech.

I went through the civilian dive school/program down in Los Angeles run by Oceaneering International, and worked for them.

I likely went out from Dulac, not to mention other ports from Mississippi to Galveston, TX. My favorite ride was in the large Huey's however. Much less sea-sickness involved!

I will look forward to your Gumbo.

I sure hope I can make it. Even though I'm a Nor' easter I bet I could make a good Gumbo for a "throw down". I say we have a "GUMBO" competition for Saturday night. I nominate Deros as judge.

Gumbo is a dish that originated in southern Louisiana during the 18th century. It typically consists primarily of a strongly-flavored stock, meat or shellfish, a thickener, and seasoning vegetables, which can include celery, bell peppers and onions (a trio known in Cajun cuisine as the "holy trinity"). Gumbo is often categorized by the type of thickener used: the African vegetable okra, the Choctaw spice filé powder (dried and ground sassafras leaves), or roux, the French base made of flour and fat. The dish likely derived its name from either the Bantu word for okra (ki ngombo) or the Choctaw word for filé (kombo).

Acadians would put anything they fished from the bayou into a gumbo pot. There is really no recipe, just a gathering of ingrediants
