In the Cajun restaurant where I used to cook, the owner came into the kitchen one evening and started browning some chicken. We all looked at each other, usually if the owner started cooking it was because we had messed up on something. What happened was he had a customer who was insisting on gumbo and we didn't have time to cook it the right way(boiling it in the gumbo) but at least we had some gravy(soup) left to finish it in so it wasn't too noticeable. Anyway, don't brown chicken for gumbo.

This has nothing to do with Haitian food and it is Creole meaning from the city of New Orleans, it has nothing to do with race (in New Orleans Creole just means anything from the city of New Orleans as opposed to Europe, like new world, old world). Whites, Blacks, and Native Americans all took part in the creation of this dish.

I love Haitian and creole food in general.

I would like to see more dishes like this one in the future.
