Hey, folks from MS know how to make gumbo (I'm one of them)! Sir SuziQ likes it hot enough to make his nose run. I just make it spicy enough for me, then give him the cayenne pepper and let him go to it! Where in MS did this guy live?
We love it when we can bring home that good Gulf (of Mexico) Shrimp. It just has a wonderful flavor. I didn't realize our oldest even noticed it, but he was telling us about talking to some folks at his college and they said they didn't like shrimp. He told them they needed to try the Gulf Shrimp and they'd change their minds. I'm so glad we've given that boy some CULTURE!
Well...he was a military brat, so his Dad had settled in Biloxi when he retired, but I think the rest of the family was from another part of the state. I'm not really sure where, exactly.

I didn't get to partake of as much seafood as I would have liked to while I was in MS (at Keesler in Biloxi for four months)...sad. So I guess I haven't had the REALLY good stuff!
My uncle in SC has a shrimp boat, though, and he catches some wonderful shrimp - I've only had it a few times when Grandma would bring some up (we didn't do much traveling back and forth), but it's goood! Seems like a lot of what's available up this way in the stores is sort of mushy and flavorless by comparison.
