Chicken, Sausage, & Okra gumbo is my favorite. Roux must be dark.

I like Seafood Gumbo but the Chicken and Sausage is it for me.

I always have garlic bread made from Reising's or Leidenheimer's french bread. Awesome.

I don’t understand dark roux. Ruins it.

ByUselves•79 months

A real roux, not out of a jar!

HammerheadLincoln•79 months

It's not a gumbo if the roux is light!

I fry my okra with a small amount of oil till they start browning. Put them in my gumbo,cook awhile longer. Chicken Sausauge Okra gumbo, no slime.

Now for the biggest question. Which mayonnaise do you use to make the potato salad? I know a lot of people like that Blue Plate crap but give me Hellmann's podna.

Gumbaw•79 months

Duke’s of course

Cher.... there is ONLY Hellmann's...Best Foods West of the Rockies.

Love gumbo, love potato salad. Don’t love gumbo with potato salad.

Okra is okay for gumbo...I just don't care for it personally. I have a rule...if I've thrown it up...I typically don't eat it. I can eat okra fried...but not anything like in a gumbo or boiled...I've thrown it up too many times when I was a kid. Love all gumbo...except that with okra...Lord knows I've cut enough okra in my life from my grandpa's garden...I just can't eat it.

southsidedell•79 months

I used to hate okra gumbo when i was a kid....i look for it as a grown up now tho.

I'm a North La. redneck and can't make roux to coonass standards. Just use store bought Savoie's Dark roux.
Recipe is on bottle and much better than mine. Okra is not included in their recipe but I brown okra in small amount of oil to deslime. My river rat wife taught me that. I use 1 quart less water than called for. Even a NY Yankee can make good cajan gumbo with this recipe and roux.

brewdrees•79 months

Chicken,Sausage and Shrimp for me but in OPELOUSAS my ppl make a mean ROOSTER PARTS gumbo.

rob62•79 months

I don't get putting shrimp in a chicken & sausage gumbo. Some people like it but to me it is trying to combine 2 different types of gumbo. To each his own.

dellis337•79 months

Folks from north of I-10 should refrain from speaking about gumbo. I see a lot of people from Arkansas (North Louisiana) on here spouting nonsense!

Im lost on this one. Care to explain?

Any true Cajun never puts potato salad on the side .. lol It always in the gumbo .

Tigahs24Seven•79 months

Lafourche checking in...true, very true

sloponmyZZtop•79 months

“Gumbo” literally means “okra” , if your gumbo does not have okra in it, you’re eating a stew

dellis337•79 months

Gotta love the lesson in Creole, here!!!! Out-fricking-standing! I support this message!

Mike da Tigah•79 months

It has a roux, and it has stock, and you’re not stewing meat down. Gumbo is a soup. It’s always a soup, regardless of the ingredients. It’s the process that makes it a soup, not the ingredients.

Pianoman•79 months

We grew up eating sweet potatoes in our gumbo. If not, potato salad on the side. Chicken and sausage good, shrimp/seafood better if it has the stock added in.

Red5LSU•79 months

Chicken and sausage gumbo for me. Might add some shrimp every now and then if I'm feeling crazy. Not a big fan of mustard, so no potato salad for me.

shoelessjoe•79 months

Not a fan of mustard in potato salad either. Wife makes some with mayo no mustard forms. Love it.

Tiger in Texas•79 months

My wife adds mustard to her potato salad and I will match it against any other!

Jrv2damac•79 months

That sounds awful. Chicken and sausage for me.

Tiger in Texas•79 months

Okra is a must for me- here in Houston they never put okra in their gumbo and I always complain!
