Gumbo is a stew or soup originating in Louisiana, and found across the Gulf Coast of the United States and into the southern U.S. A typical gumbo contains one or more kinds of poultry, shellfish, and smoked pork. Poultry used is typically chicken, duck, or quail. Local shellfish such as the freshwater crawfish, crab and shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico provide a smoky flavor to the dish.
