Gumbo is Louisiana specialty. Like a stew. Made from a roux with chicken and sausage or crab, shrimp, and oysters.

No idea about the other. Then again, I'd have to Google most everything in this thread, lol.

Blue Vinney cheese and Dorset Nob biscuits. The cheese is a variation of Stilton but probably a lot softer in texture and Dorset Nob buiscuits are golf ball size rolls that are double baked and very crispy. They can be soaked in your cup of tea if you so fancy.
