Talk:Étouffée

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

just wanted to say that etoufee and gumbo are virtually nothing alike. gumbo is a thick soup or stew, whereas etoufee has a consistency similar to Indian curry dishes. while both are made with the trinity and a roux and served with rice, so is just about every traditional Cajun dish. the seasoning, consistency, and typical ingredients are vastly different, as mentioned in the article. to explain etoufee by comparing it to gumbo is like basing a whole article about Chicken Tikka Masala around it's similarities or differences to chicken noodle soup. i'm not going to edit now because it would involve a complete rewrite, but i just wanted to throw that out there in case someone more ambitious who knows enough about Louisiana cuisine wanted to do that.
