The Food Monologues

Last night I made a gumbo with my pressure cooker. It was an interesting mix of pork, chicken, salami and sausage with tomatoes and peppers. I bought some fresh okra, though I have never tried it before. It tastes similar to ridged cucumber (which I think it is related to) but its slightly goey and thickens up the sauce slightly. However, I still needed to make a brown roux to thicken it even more.
