He then adds, “Gumbo for me is one of my favourites, especially her mom’s. But before the fish goes in.”
Meghan explains that her mother, Doria Ragland, always makes a special version just for Harry. “She always saves a little portion on the side for him, I’ll give you a little towel because you’re going to sweat,” she says, noting that her own recipe uses a spicier sausage than her mum’s.
After tasting the dish, Harry admits, “I can feel it puncturing through the top of my head right now.”
“It is delicious,” he continues. “I’m not so sure it’s as good as your mum’s, but it’s certainly close.”
Meghan’s reaction was instant. “What?! Oh my gosh,” she laughs. “Well, my mom will love you for that. You know what? What a good thing to say for your mother-in-law.”
It was a comment that may have cost Harry a few points at home, but likely earned him plenty with Doria — especially on a show watched by millions.
Celebrating the Holiday Spirit
“I love the holiday season,” Meghan says in the episode. “It’s about finding time to connect with the people we love, embracing traditions and making new ones.”
