In various parts of the world where okra seeds have been sown, the vegetable is known as Ochro, Okoro, Quimgombo, Quingumbo, Ladies Fingers, Gombo, Kopi Arab, Kacang Bendi, Bhindi, Bendi, Bamia, Bamya or Bamieh. The gumbo, the thick, savory soup New Orleans made famous, takes its name from the Swahili word for okra. Okra seeds were first cultivated by Egyptians on the alluvial banks of the Nile around the 12th Century before Christ. Traders took okra seeds with them throughout North Africa to the Mediterranean, the Balkans, and India. The African diaspora brought okra seeds to Brazil, Dutch Guinea, and eventually to New Orleans. People brought to the Western Hemisphere as slaves used ground okra as a part of their diet. Okra seeds were pulverized as used as a coffee substitute by Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War, when normal coffee imports were cut off through Union blockades. Okra is a heat-loving plant that grows to be quite tall.Okra Seeds]]> vegetable seeds]]> heirloom seeds]]> bulk seeds]]> garden seeds]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Okra-dokey-/3284624 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 18:08:46 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Okra-dokey-/3284624 HCG Dinner Ideas]]> Cajun]]> HCG Diet]]> Chili Lime Shrimp]]> Asparagus Salad]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What---s-For-Dinner--Hcg-Dinner-Ideas/3016033 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 03:20:49 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/What---s-For-Dinner--Hcg-Dinner-Ideas/3016033 Ghetto Soup is much more than the cute and cuddly offerings of any other animation cartoon on the market.

People from around the globe prefer silver jewelry instead of any other precious metal like gold. The main reason for this is that silver are far less expensive than gold, but it also has a high quality grade close to gold.Silver jewelries are actually not made out of pure silver, for pure silver will just be very pliable, that is why 92.5% of silver were mixed with other metals like copper, zinc, or nickel. Silver with all ofthese kind of mixture are what is now called as sterling silver jewelry. Sterling silvers are known to be first originated in Europe, and in the 12th century it was used commercially in northern Germany. Sterling silver back then was not used as jewelry, but as a form of silverware, in fact in the late 1840 to 1940, silverware, also known as flatware are very popular in the United States and in Europe.Kitchenware were made before using silver jewelry, example of those are different kinds of spoons like teaspoon, coffee spoon, demitasse spoon, bouillon spoon, gumbo soup spoon, and iced tea spoon.sterling silver jewelry]]> silver jewelry]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Between-Silver---Sterling-Silver/2421707 Wed, 11 May 2011 10:43:52 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Between-Silver---Sterling-Silver/2421707 Okra is an underutilized vegetable. It is abundant and usually low-cost, and can impart flavor and texture to many dishes. It can be used to thicken stews and is popular in Caribbean, Brazilian, Indian, Vietnamese, and American Southern cooking. It originated in Africa and grows in warm temperate to sub-tropical regions around the world. Its most famous use may be in the Creole dish, Gumbo, where it is paired with fish, shellfish, or fowl, spices, tomatoes, and stock. Okra is prized by vegetarians and allergy-conscious diners who use it to create thick stews without the use of animal products and/or flour.

I've seen it made from everything including Campbell's gumbo soup mix. Now, we all know that's not real chicken gumbo soup, but it sure makes a quick meal. Obviously, you need chicken, preferably skinless and cut up in smaller pieces. For the gumbo part, we're going to need a roux. That's nothing more than equal amounts of lard, oil, or butter mixed with flour. When mixing the roux on heat, make sure you don't stop stirring. If you do, it will burn very quickly and you'll have to start over again. This is critical. There are several stages you'll go through with your roux. It will start out almost a vanilla color and the more you stir and the hotter it gets, it will continually get darker. Ideally, you want it to get a very dark chocolaty color. Now, to help from keeping the roux from burning, you need to add what they call the "Holy Trinity" of gumbos, this being chopped onions, celery and bell peppers. I don't know why they call it the holy trinity, because there is no such thing, but that's a whole other subject!gumbo]]> gumbo soup]]> soup gumbo]]> chicken gumbo soup]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Chicken-Gumbo-Soup/811113 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:39:28 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Chicken-Gumbo-Soup/811113 The origin of gumbo,a soup-like dish featuring some type of meat or seafood and normally served on rice, is often attributed to the French, however the name itself was an African translation for the word "okra", which was a mainstay of the slaves brought over in the 17th and 18th century. This is much closer to the reality with reference to the origin of Gumbo and many of the gumbo recipes still continue to make use of okra as an supplementary thickener, as well as file' powder which was introduced by the American Choctaw Indians, together with the roux. Gumbo is a stew or soup originating in Louisiana which is for the most part popular across the Gulf Coast and southern portion of the United States. Having originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, basically named by the French, gumbo is the product of the melting of cultures in Louisianan history. The dish itself is based on the French soup bouillabaisse, added with the "Holy Trinity," (celery, onions and green peppers) which is of Spanish origin and the use of file' powder (ground sassafras leaves) which is a Native American contribution of the Choctaw Indians.gumbo]]> origin of gumbo]]> gumbo origin]]> gumbo recipe]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Origin-Of-Gumbo/811111 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:36:58 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Origin-Of-Gumbo/811111 Home cooking network - A Pandora box for all the foodies.

Pulling the trolling motor aboard, we headed to the nearest marina just across St. George Island from where we'd caught a couple of redfish and several trout. After crossing the bay, we eased up to the dock of a shore side marina in Apalachicola, Florida. Our little 16 foot fishing boat looked out of place near 4 large shrimp boats, as we tied it off next to a solitary gas pump. After making arrangements with the attendant to top off the tank, we walked up the boat launching pad to a large seafood restaurant. I'm a seafood nut and I love seafood gumbo. In my continuing search for the perfect seafood gumbo, I order the dish at every seafood restaurant I stumble across, and if the full parking lot of this restaurant was any indication, this place served up some good food. We followed our waitress to a window table that gave us a great view of the harbor.St. George Island]]> Apalachicola]]> Florida]]> Apalachicola seafood gumbo]]> seafood gumbo]]> redfish]]> ]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Apalachicola-Seafood-Gumbo-And-Me-/188898 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Apalachicola-Seafood-Gumbo-And-Me-/188898 Every year I take up my soup spoon, adjust my bib and continue my search for the best tasting seafood gumbo I can find. It's not an easy job, but I'm up to the task again this year. You can find it just about anywhere you can smell the salt in the air. My choice is the gulf coast from Alabama all the way to Texas. I've tasted gumbo made with shrimp, (head on or head off) chicken, sausage, fish, scallops, clams, oysters and crab meat. Heads on shrimp give the gumbo a stronger and more flavorful taste. Added to these ingredients are vegetable such as onions, bell pepper, okra, parsley, celery, garlic and tomatoes. In addition to all this, there are spices such as bay leaves, garlic, thyme, salt, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, file' powder, Creole seasoning, chicken bouillon, Worcestershire Sauce, Old Bay Seasoning, Cavender's Greek Seasoning, Crab Boil and ketchup. Some chefs leave out the chicken and pork. From what I've seen and sampled along the coast, I've discovered that there is no such thing as a standard gumbo recipe. Some sea side chefs make theirs with chicken.gumbo]]> seafood gumbo]]> shrimp]]> fish]]> scallops]]> clams]]> oysters]]> crab meat]]> Orange Beach Alabama]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/A-Fine-Kettle-Of-Fish-/131327 Thu, 22 Feb 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/A-Fine-Kettle-Of-Fish-/131327
