Oakgrove Smokehouse Gumbo BASE, NOT the MIX
Is awful. I had this when someone who is a good cook made it. It didn't taste like gumbo to me. No dark roux flavor. Was like a cross between a poorly made gumbo and some sort of bad chicken and sausage soup. I just don't get wasting the time to make gumbo with it, but it's a personal flavor and some folks apparently like it.

Ok, I'll just go ahead and make my own roux.

I get that it's not your thing, but I think you're being a bit harsh. I use it often when I don't feel like cooking a roux, I've had gumbo made by others with it as well. I've never heard anybody complain. It's not as good as homemade roux but it's not near as bad as you make it sound.
