Ahh, my neck o the woods. Potato salad in the gumbo is the only way to go, and definitely no crunchy stuff in it. Potato salad to gumbo, ain't the same as ruining a good serving of white beans by adding ketchup. Couldn't understand why people do that.
Years ago my uncle had a patch of land that wasn't good for much, due to it being covered with Blackjack Mud. One year he was back on the patch making rows. So I asked Uncle Ed, "What the heck grows in Blackjack?" His reply was only one thing, Okra. He had a great stand of Okra that year. Some of the richest soil was on the banks of Bayou Plaquemine, but in some spots, get a 1/2 mile away, Blackjack.
