This is a great Recipe for all that leftover Turkey (including bones and scraps) from the holiday meals..........

i did...it came out just alright though.
asked my mom what could have possibly gone wrong, and she said that i needed to maybe sprinkle a lil msg into it.
but i think I'll add in some oxtail along with the beef bones next time, to give the broth more flavor.
B- for a first effort

roux + trinity = possibly the best smell ever.
agreed, but the smell produced when Lea & Perrins is added to a Roux does rival it............

yeah, i used oxtail, beef bones, and even some short ribs. Great flavor, but ended up costing a damn fortune.
well cool, if you master it be sure to let us know.

Not that un-common, I have a couple buddies who are the same way. They say the old family recipes never used it. Always made me wonder if Bell Pepper and Celery may have not been readily available way back when in certain areas............either way, whatever floats your boat!!
ETA: Dude, your Avatar cracks me up every time I see it..........

your recipes are the first i've seen this...
i knew the smell of r+t when i was younger but didn't know what it was... then when i started cooking and did it the first time i was immediately taken back to standing next to the stove while my mom cooked. good stuff there.
i wait for that moment when i cook it now.

now in my jambalaya i sometimes just use tons of onions and a TINY bit of celery...no bell pepeprs. It's how i saw my dad make it, so maybe that was the old way?

Well given the fact that Jambalaya and Gumbo were two dishes created to stretch/use various scraps or leftover meats as a way to feed a large family, it just made sense to me that Onions were abundant back then while maybe BP & Celery were not. If they had been readily available, they would prolly have been used.............

My mother and grandmother in Abbeville always used just onions in most cajun dishes. Not sure why, but that's what they learned from their mother's and grandmothers.
Those who grew up in the trilogy mode probably say the same. Maybe it's a geographical thing?

I expect parish lines and availability molded different cooking styles and ingredients. Travel and availabilty have changed things.

I always use celery, if I have it.
But I ain't making a trip to the store for it.
The best gumbo is the one I don't have to go shopping for.

Culteral differences as well. NOLA cooking and Abbeville cooking in no way resemble one another!

Which is why I originally asked if the "trilogy" use in Gumbo was a N Louisiana thing?
Posted on 12/28/09 at 2:21 pm to Count Chocula
Treedawg do you cook those okra down first? I cook mine seperate to eleminate the slime effect they give off. Then add to my gumbo.

Although I am Redneck by birth, I have lived in BR since 1969 and learned to cook many "non-redneck dishes" from the beginning of my cooking days. I have mad Gravy making skills and can flat whup up some good ole Country Cookin..........

I have never had a huge problem with too much slime either way. I have eaten some Gumbo with WAY too much Okra..........even for me (I frickin love Okra), and the "Slime effect" was a bit much.
