does it make any difference if i leave out the okra?
This, Egg, is the biggest debate among Gumbo lovers. The dish itself is named after an African word for Okra and was initially created around it as the main ingredient and is a major thickening ingredient, but, many people just don't like Okra so its not included...........File' added to your bowl at serving time is an alternative thickening method.
IMO, Gumbo should always include Okra.............let the debate continue!!!!

Gumbo is about your own personal tastes. I don't like okra in gumbo, so I never use it nor will I order gumbo with okra in it. My gumbo is very good. So are gumbos with okra. They just aren't for me.
Some folks get stomach issues from gumbo, like my Mom, so we never included it growing up. Just what I'm used to.
Make it like YOU like it.
I love okra and tomatoes, together. I just don't like either in my gumbo.
