I have included 3 recipes I found on the lists archives. The archives list more recipes and notes about the areas restaurants.

The luv to cook list can also be accessed from www.onelist.com (they just started up and are recruiting members now) The tradition behind Gumbo ZHerbes is that it was usually made on Holy Thursday for consumption on Good Friday. Since Good Friday was (and still is) a day of fasting and abstinence from meat for Catholics, something meatless had to be prepared for dinner. Catholics in New Orleans normally had no difficulties with the Churchs no-meat-on- Fridays rule, since we have such an abundance of seafood in the area. Good Friday was a bit different, however, since it is also a day of *fasting*. The regular Friday seafood feast had to be toned down dramatically in keeping with the tone of the day. Wash the greens, parsley, green onion, and cabbabe thoroughly and remove the stems and hard centers. Boil in water for 2 hours. Drain the greens and reserve the water. Chop the greens finely. In a soup kettle make a brown roux of the flour and shortening. Add the onion and saute for 15 minutes. Add the reserved cooking water, herbs, spices, and seasonings. Simmer for 1 hour. Serve over rice. Serves 8. Posted to KitMailbox Digest by GAdams1350
