I’ll cook a gumbo in his honor.
I might order some from Mary Mahoney’s Old French House, Biloxi, MS as well.
The roux to Gumbo is like the land to Scarlett
It’s everything
Dark dark and dark right up to the burn
Not too much oil but not nubby
Cast iron for sho!
There is no substitute
But I lie
In a hurry or just for creole or RBAR or any creole gravy ....or just to add more to the real nut
Savoie’s works damn good....just spoon it out
I am the gumbo cook from Hell....my WWII VET uncle held the title....but he’s 90
That and Paella
Or French style fish brothy soups like Boulliabaise...
I just don’t have time anymore
