Several years ago I was a judge for the Rajun Cajun gumbo contest. I’m no expert, to be sure, but two of my fellow judges were … At least that’s what they said, and things got very, very heated when the two disagreed about what constitutes authentic gumbo.
It’s always been my understanding that gumbo’s origins involved using what was available at hand, making it a particularly flexible dish. But, I have to say I was a little perplexed recently when I came upon a recipe using eggs.
