Old ones are good in gumbo.
If your eating gumbo then your used to eating anything, snake, alligator, turtle etc, An old bird is nothing to a Cajun. Born in NOLA myself. I was born in the countries worst hospital where they left people to die during Katrina.
And of course, if their are enough Cajun seasonings, I’ll eat whatever they put in the jambalaya or gumbo.
