What are some non traditional gumbos that you cook?

I have been making a gumbo for each Lsu game and I am looking for some new ideas. I made a collard/mustard/turnip green gumbo with fresh and smoked sausage last week. That is the only non traditional gumbo I have ever prepared. I was thinking of maybe a Boston butt and black eyed pea gumbo maybe?

I've got a gumbo cookbook that has some recipes where you use types red meat and beef stock. I've never attempted one though. Kinda seems like it would just me a stew of some sort, when it was done....

That honestly sounds awful to me, no offense intended.
You could cut up that pork, season, flour and fry it and make fried pork gumbo. I wouldn't, but you could try it.
I'm not a fan of messing with gumbo very much. There are so many good traditional options out there which are great.

I'm a traditionalist I guess because it's nothing but chicken/duck/sausage or seafood gumbos for me. I did see a brisket gumbo in DC years ago that also had carrots,corn and peas

I made a gumbo with tomoatoes once.

Goose makes a great broth. Guinea is good as well.

Guinea Hen/Sausage/oyster FTW!

I laughed the other day in the freezer section of HEB...they had a frozen bag labeled "gumbo vegetables" with corn in it.

quote:I miss goose. Canada Geese are very abundant in the North and were frequently hunted by my Father and served for dinner. It's a tricky bird to cook because it dries out very easily, but delicious if done correctly. I was always cautioned to chew delicately to watch out for the "shot".

They were so abundant on golf courses that snipers were employed to thin the population. It was all because of the goose shite they would leave behind on the fairways.
Although I miss goose, I'm not about to pay $60 for a frozen bird that I now see in stores here in LA.

I had a smoked pork butt and blackeyed pea gumbo by Donald Link...was excellent.

Iv heard Donald Links fried chicken and sausage gumbo is great

You ate Canada geese?

Had blackeyed pea gumbo at Cochon last year, it was amazing

A friend used to rave about his mothers red bean gumbo.

I've eaten Canada Goose. One time in Gueydon the breast was seared fast and sliced like a duck breast and the legs and thighs were in a gumbo. Wasn't bad- not incredible but not bad. The guy hung it in a cooler for a day or so to age before he even gutted it. I didn't see it but he told me that and I had no reason to not believe him.
Speckled Belly make a great gumbo. I can't stand a blue goose.
I've had a red bean gumbo at Dooky Chases and it was very good. I would try to make that.
A duck and andouille with the roux made with the rendered duck fat will make you put the cat outside.

Had a gumbo with duck, squirrel, rabbit and venison backstrap at the camp a few years ago. It ate pretty good.
