Thick gumbo means you don't know how to get your roux dark enough.

Darker roux has less thickening power...

Ketchup on an already juicy burger.

Sugar in a tomato sauce.

Ranch dressing on hot wings with a wet sauce.

Steak sauce or any kind of sauce other than the original marinade on a steak.

The darker the roux, the less thickening power it has. A white roux will producer a much thicker result than a dark roux. You may even notice that your roux is thicker when you begin the darkening process than it is when you reach the darker stages.

You might want to google and read some of the many articles on the subject before calling someone dumb. It's fact, not opinion.

Obviously, if you use less liquid than someone else in your gumbo, it will be thicker, but then your ratio of roux to liquid is different.

Well that read was disconcerting, because I love both cilantro and Julia Child.

Leave it to someone named Helen Leach to spoil the party with her research.

My favorite dish is Red Beans and rice and sausage. You will surely ruin it (for me at least) if you bring me some watery beans. I don't want refried bean consistency but I sure as hell don't want to see each individual bean in a broth either.

Haven't read through these, but undercooked chicken is about the worst thing ever.

Sid, you can keep that slimy okra infested gumbo.

My grandparents from Elton Louisiana would laugh at anyone who put okra in any gumbo that wasn't a seafood gumbo.

Your grandparents are clearly the ultimate authority on gumbo.
