Years ago we drove over to New Iberia, LA one Sunday in October for the Gumbo Cookoff. If that's what you are referring to, you are right: there was no potato salad to be seen. There were competitions for best seafood and non-seafood gumbo; best professional and amateur in each category. We sampled them all. I believe I have a high tolerance for spicy food, but most of what I tasted was thermonuclear. New Iberia is, famously, the home of Tabasco, and there was plenty of it in the gumbo. If you mean that "european-ized" equates to something less than eye-watering hot, then I am just fine with the gumbo here in New Orleans, whether it comes from a restaurant or from my own kitchen. The music was great - cajun and zydeco, and we had a wonderful experience. It's a special place.

. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
