And this is the gumbo quote:

Coleman, Will Historical Sketch Book and Guide to New Orleans and Environs (1885), p 91

“The great dish of New Orleans, and which it claims the honor of having invented, is the GOMBO. There is no dish which at the same time so tickles the palate, satisfies the appetite, furnishes the body nutriment sufficient to carry on the physical requirements, and costs so little as a creole gumbo. It is a dinner in itself, being soup, piece de resistance, entremet, and vegetables in one. Healthy, not heating to the stomach and easy of digestion, it should grace every table.”
