Have you ever had a real gumbo?

This Crimson guy seems pretty confident after reading the reviews. Pretty sure he has never had nothing but bama gumbo.Posted on 1/30/15 at 8:23 pm to TH03
I put Rotel tomatoes in my gumbo. So be it!

The Lotus Club in Monroe does a very tasty seafood gumbo. Each bowl has a few bits of tomato. Nice color...the flavor of their gumbo is very good.

I live in LA. I don't recall having ever eaten any gumbo in Alabama. I have eaten plenty of bad gumbo that coonasses thought was great thought.

John Besh's gumbo recipe calls for tomatoes.
Of course, Besh is an idiot so what does he know?
Gumbo can be good with tomatoes. Not a tomatoe-y gumbo, but a few can add a good taste to it.
What is the big deal?

Yes. Lots of folks in n.o. Add some tomatoes to seafood gumbo. Not like how the OP said he saw it done on the show.
Doesn't belong in chicken and sausage gumbo.

I just looked at Besh's seafood gumbo recipe from his site, his duck and oyster gumbo recipe from Garden & Gun, and his chicken and sausage recipe from food and wine magazine
None had tomatoes

Cajun gumbo, no tomatoes. Mostly chicken and sausage.
a. North of LA90 no seafood
b. South of LA90 with seafood
Creole Gumbo, seafood and tomatoes.
File' gumbo, onion based roux, whatever else you can find.

quote:I was making my first gumbo a few months ago and a good number of the recipes called for tomatoes, including Alton Brown's. I didn't use them in my gumbo, but it seems more prevalent than some on here are acting like.
No one outside of Alabama does this.

I've been to the gumbo shack. It sucks.
Posted on 1/31/15 at 7:55 am to LSUballs
I've never been and never had their gumbo, just stating that tomatoes in gumbo isn't uncommon and isn't am Alabama thing.
I prefer mine without tomatoes, but I don't understand the fuss.
