| re: gumbo advice (Posted on 10/7/12 at 7:14 pm to coolpapaboze)
I am venting my nger at last nights debacle with a bit of my poli board anger, but his recipe would get him a kick tn the nether regions wither dorsal or ventral from me. I was doing the slow cooking thing of Europe before it became popular over there. I don't shop for the week(except for things that can only be had by the week) I shop daily and make my menu as I shop. I go from tabula rasa to a meal when I walk into the store. If (tig dup) thinks the BS he is doing is making gumbo then I wish him a short life span as he is providing his progeny with the concept that if it is from a box it's food.

I do not subscribe to that recipe mind you,.;( but it's a start with the expectation that you will eventually graduate to making your own roux and stock etc... 
CIT that "cayan" threw me off.

Marie sometimes you have to vent. The recipe I read gave me the same kind of red-ass that someone gave me last year on his ineptitude about his knowledge of chocolate. Sometimes speaking softly is not the answer, a bigstick and speaking loudly can go hand in hand.

If it is not andouille it is not from southeast La.

I use andouille and various kinds depending on what I have or what I can get at the time. I'm making 5 gallons right now using a mild sausage because I'm making it for my younger nieces who don't like pepper so much. I keep a mild gumbo on hand for them.

I often use Rabideaux's smoked pork sausage from Iowa, LA. I also use andouille from the Best Stop in Scott. If I happen to be in the area, I'll pick up andouille from Jacob's in LaPlace but I mostly travel between Lake Charles and Baton Rouge.

Don't buy your roux from the store; make your own.
Gumbo is easy as hell.
Roux, trinity, stock/water, chicken, sausage, spices.
It'll taste good. The more you make, the more you figure out what you like.

In other words...if it is from southeast LA then it is andouille?
That doesn't make sense.

I may be slightly drunk, but you come off as a super douche.

No one should give a damn if store bought is your preference...that's fine. But, if you'll learn to make home-made roux, the gumbo will be much better.

Listen to Otis even though he's a smart arse.
I made an oven roux since folks here have talked about that. I'll post about it tomorrow, but I'm sold. Folks who are afraid of making a good roux should try it. Tastes just like my stovetop version. Takes a while but it would be hard to burn. Far superior to jarred. You'd have to be without a brain to screw it up. the who uses "cayan" might mess it up, though.

I still don't know what you're talking about Otis.
Is OG still verbally abusing the idiot on the OB?

Don't coddle their palates, GG. They need to have the same gumbo...the same sausage...that everyone else eats. As for Geaut, he's probably still whooping on those boys.
