Heck yes on shrimp. Shrimp is the fruit of the sea.

Homemade chicken soup. All natural. No preservatives. Just lots of onion and Tony's. In honor of shrimp day I threw some in too. It gave it a nice rounded flavor that I'll be using again.

Chicken and andouille gumbo baby! It’s poker night for me and a few friends.

I make my own... of course since I'm French. They are easy to make.. and fun too if you're willing to be creative. My grandkids sure love them.

My wife makes them too. But she learned from her Serbian mother so technically they are Palacinkes….but they are made the same as crepes 😄

My friend's grandmother made Swedish pancakes very similar, if not the same, as crepes.

If memory serves me correctly the ingredients to the Swedish pancakes were easy:
Two eggs
Two cups milk
Two cups flour
...and a couple of other small ingredients.
The restaurant we were going to closed at 6:00pm last night (the Great Reset and all...

) so we didn't get to eat there. I'll try to make some this evening instead.

I've done some soul searching regarding the crepe (Pannekoeken in Dutch or Freisen). I don't recall my mother making these but no matter the country or region from which they originate they're basically the same. I found an Iranian version of it as well.
My mom made syrup but not this:

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons brewed coffee

For gits and shiggles I found these in a quick search on the Googs:

Palačinky (or palatschinken) are a variety of pancakes of Greco-Roman origin that are popular in Central and Eastern Europe.
Oladyi are small, thick pancakes, traditional in Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian cuisines. They are often served with smetana (sour cream), varenye (whole fruit jam), jam, powidl (unsweetened plum jam) or honey.
Blini: traditional Russian blinis are made with sourdough dough before placing them in a traditional Russian oven. To this day, the process of making blinis has been related to “baking”, even though they are almost universally pan-fried like pancakes. They can be made with wheat, buckwheat, oat, or millet flour, but wheat flour remains the most popular.
In Romania, people eat clătită, often with a savory garnish, but also sweet.
Germanic pfannkuchen, also known as palatschinken, are thinner than conventional pancakes and are eaten both savory and sweet in Austria (Palatschinken), Czech Republic (palačinky), Slovakia (palačinky), Hungary (palacsinta), Romania (plăcintă), Moldova and the Balkans.
French crêpe is a type of thin pancake. Especially in Limousin, Brittany and northern France, there is a rich tradition of crepes and galettes.
In the United States, a pancake is small and airy pancake. It is generally 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) in diameter and ½ to 1 inch (1 to 2 cm) thick with leavening agents. Americans use buttermilk more than milk. These are eaten for breakfast with something sweet like maple syrup.
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese pancake.
A wrap is a kind of crepe rolled up with a filling, of Mexican and/or American origin. It’s a kind of sandwich that is often used in the fast food industry. It is made of a thin crepe wrapped around a filling. Traditionally, wraps are tortillas made from corn or wheat flour. They look like lavash bread, pita, or laffa bread. The filling usually consists of cold or hot meat, sliced poultry or fish, accompanied by lettuce, diced tomatoes or pico de gallo, guacamole, sautéed mushrooms, bacon, grilled onions, cheese and a sauce.
Moroccan baghrir looks like a pancake with durum wheat semolina and baker’s yeast but without any dairy product.
Mofletta is a Moroccan Jewish pancake traditionally eaten during the celebration of Mimouna, at the end of Passover.

I have to ask. I moved to the Gulf coast about 6 years ago. EVERYONE that I have ask this question, has given me the EXACT same answer.
WHERE CAN I FIND THE BEST GUMBO? They all have said their momma’s house or a relative’s house. No one has ever suggested a restaurant to me.
So, where do I find the best gumbo?
