re: tomatoes in gumbo?

maybe the title should have been different. this isn't about tomatoes being part of the dish more than is is about tomatoes being the main focus and calling that shite mixture a roux. it's not a fricking roux. roux is 2 ingredients, not your entire mixture right after you dumped in flour. not roux and not gumbo.

This. It's not about whether you put tomatoes and okra in gumbo. That's fine. This show was about a restaurant making tomato soup with flour in it. If you saw the show, you see that it's some sort of concoction, but it's not gumbo. It may taste great but it won't taste like gumbo. However. If some of you wish to call it gumbo, go ahead.

Lawd!
