re: Gumbo weather, what's your best recipe?

No offense to anyone, but deciphering the recipes most people post is like reading directions to put furniture together

More so with gumbo than any other dish, I'd be willing to bet that most people don't use recipes. They have an ingredient list, but it's not so specific (1 lbs of chicken, 1 link sausage, etc). it's just whatever they have, or whatever they're feeling that day. That's the beauty of a gumbo. It's whatever you want it to be.

ETA: Within reason
