Post it, Dear Adamantius, you should know better than to ask.

: Lovely recipe, Mordonna! Thank you!  I am curious about one thing,
: though...I've never seen a gumbo recipe that called for both okra and
: file powder. My not being a native of the appropriate area may be a
: factor, but my impression was that it was either one or the other, since
: they both provide a similar mucilaginous thickening to the sauce.
: Similarly, when file is used, it is usually stirred into the sauce. Is
: it used as a garnish in your recipe, and is it there primarily for its
: flavor, its color, or what?
: 
: Not being critical, mind you. It's just that I'm easily confused. It
: does sound like a lovely gumbo. Any ideas about the presence of file in
: addition to okra, and how it is used?
: 
: As for the periodicity of the dish, probably the easiest thing to
: suggest is that while there is at least one period European dish I can
: think of that calls for both poultry and crayfish, rather than shrimp, a
: minor change, that dish doesn't call for tomatoes or green peppers, both
: of which arrived in Europe, more or less, well after Columbus's voyages
: to America. If I can find the time to post the recipe for the tile of
: meat (specifically chicken in a spiced almond sauce, garnished with
: crayfish tails) from Le Menagier de Paris, would you be interested?
: 
: Many thanks!
