Yes...Why? Because MaMaw did (stewed tomatoes anyway)

No because Granny would spin in her grave if I had tomatoes within 50 feet of a gumbo pot. And it's nasty

No

I like them both ways, I've never made a Gumbo with tomatoes in it though.

half my recipes i have and use call for at least •2 tomatoes, peeled & chopped. My wife is allergic to tomatoes so I have omitted the tomatoes and replace the missing liquid with chicken or beef broth or other liquids already in the recipe. You could also replace the tomatoes with other veggies like bell peppers, onion or summer squash—perhaps just increasing veggies already used in the recipe.
Besh says no, Emeril does sometimes, allrecipe.com 1/2 yes, most recipes usually add tomatoes when they add Okra, that I've noticed.

an authentic Louisiana Cajun seafood gumbo does not call for tomatos, you should make a seafood stock no matter what

I'm sorry, but if you put tomatoes in gumbo you're making a bastardized version of the dish. Tomato is not an ingredient in gumbo.
In gumbo? What's this board coming to?

agreed, the real argument seems to be with the use of Okra and Filet powder. I'm from N.LA I'll yeild to whatever y'all say. I'm cool either way.
Seafood Gumbo Recipe Ingredients
Seafood Gumbo Recipe Ingredients to serve 4-6

Gumbo with stewed/diced tomatoes doesn't bother me.
Had it with and without, certainly not a deal breaker and not as bad as some here would have you to believe.

i dunno man, i'm not knocking you but...i hope you start with a real roux, and the next time you cook this make a seafood stock and substitute it for the broth...i don't see crabs or oysters in there...(oysters either way)
would also definitely leave the chicken and the crawfish out
im iffy on okra...don't particularly like the taste, and correct on cajuns not using it

it is in Creole recipes which differ slightly from the New Orleans French or Spanish influences.also where we get the Okra ingredient from the African influence and Okra and tomatoes go together well.
I know its semantics for me but I don't see a few tomatoes making a big difference.
that is all
