  I asked my friend from Morocco. He says the cat is asking for mouse flavored “Jumbo”. Jumbo is a brand of stock cubes which normally come in flavors like beef, chicken or lamb. The shopkeeper replies “que” in Spanish which means “what?”

  I think gumbo would be spelled as either “كمبو” or “غمبو” instead of the “ج” with the sound “sha” or “dya” depending on dialect.

    It can be قمبو (gulf) or جمبو (Egypt) as well.

    (For non Arabic speakers, hard G does not natively exist in Arabic and different dialects use a different letter to denote a hard G, a lot of the time contextually)
