My aunt, now deceased, used to make a gumbo type dish that had shrimp,
pork neckbones, rice and a spice bag in it. Im sure there were other
ingredients, but I never got to ask her. This was really delicious and
I believe she called it Poor Man's Gumbo. Does this sound familiar to
anyone? Thanks for your time.
