Gumbo Weather

I have buddies who refuse to cook or eat gumbo if it isn’t less than 80 degrees outside.
They say it just isn’t the same in hot weather vs. cool.
I for one think that mindset is garbage and will eat and cook anytime of year.
Anyone else think there are specific seasons for gumbo?

What is eat cook or eat?

I cook and eat gumbo whenever I feel like it and not determined by the weather. Yes, it is a great cold weather meal but my take is this.
I eat hot food at all times of the year. I will eat stews, soups, chili, red beans, meatballs and spaghetti etc. any time of the year, so why not gumbo since it is no hotter than any other meal I eat when the weather is warm/hot.

I had gumbo a few nights ago. Delicious.

My wife is like this. She won’t eat gumbo except between November-February.

I don't normally cook it while its 90 degrees outside but my kids are begging for it so I'll soon be making one.

I won’t cook it in the summer, but if I have some frozen, I’ll thaw it out. I do!’t do much cooking if I can’t do it in my air fryer/toaster oven in the summer. My kitchen faces northwest, so the summer sun sets right through the windows and does a good enough job heating up that room. Gumbo just tastes better when you get that warm belly feeling, and that’s not a feeling I want in May-August.

We definitely eat more hearty foods in the winter but I had chicken and sausage gumbo last week.

BBQ gumbo in the summer time is good. If you BBQ chicken and pork steaks, sausage, etc on Saturday and have leftovers, make a gumbo with them on Sunday.

Was at Lula in NOLA Friday a I ordered gumbo...it wasn't bad. And it was hot AF outside Friday night.
But...I understand the "Gumbo Weather"...to me it has to be grey outside and under 40°.

I cook and eat Gumbo year round! Same with Soups and Bisque's!
Posted on 6/23/24 at 2:20 pm to BomBayTiger
I don’t get that either…some folks live by that

If I’m craving gumbo, I’m cooking it. Regardless of the weather.
Posted on 6/23/24 at 3:00 pm to BomBayTiger
I’ll eat it or any type of soup any day but it definitely hits better on a cold day or night

That’s what I wanted for my Father’s Day meal so my wife cooked it yesterday (first time she had a chance). It was amazing. She made everything from the roux to stock homemade. Started at 11 and wasn’t finished until 7. Was perfect with a cold jucifer! Eating leftovers tonight.
