First had gumbo when I was growing up in Lafayette. I do not enjoy thick gumbo. I like it on the thin side, but with a little body to it. My seafood gumbo is always thinner than the poultry gumbo. Thick seafood gumbo is a turnoff.

Thick vs. thin--I don't see much correlation in eastern or western acadiana, but I do see a city (thicker) vs country (thinner) trend. Thicker gumbos are often urban and/or restaurant gumbos, or made by people who learned to cook gumbo from some chef's cookbook.
