Gumbo, a heavily seasoned stew that combines meat and seafood with a thick sauce and vegetables; is eaten by nearly everyone in New Orleans. But the debate over its origin taps into the history of inequality and mixing of cultures in America that still resonates to this day. The Food Programme’s Dan Saladino speaks to Liz Williams, president of the Southern Food and Beverage Museum, and journalist Lolis Eli about this delicious, but contentious dish. First broadcast on Food Programme, 5 February 2017.
