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!

Jacques Doucet has always loved to ask irrelevant questions like this to get clicks and retweets lol. It’s all good though

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

People in Lafouche parish add boiled egg in their gumbo. Yuk

We would sometimes throw a couple of sliced boiled eggs in the pot of gumbo or shrimp stew second day when the seafood is getting sparse, but there is still some roux left over. Not just a Lafouche thing

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.

A real roux, not out of a jar!

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

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.

I substitute fresh Jalapeno for the Okra, adds an extra kick. Not a fan either of the slimy Okra.

If it slimy, it’s cooked wrong.
