And you need to learn to shave 1 1/2 hours off your cook time and make a 5 minute roux:)
ain't gonna happen on my watch with a Roux that large, I am sippin a Highball (or 4) when I cook that Roux.........
its all part of the process...........
As far as searching on this site, I never have much luck (but I am technically challenged) and I would hate for the F&D Board to end up having more "Post Police" than actual posters like the other boards on this site. If I never see the word "germans" again it would suit me just fine!!!

Hen is tougher and will stand up to cooking longer, but I know in some areas it will be harder to find, anyway made a gumbo with the leftover turkey and all my Ga hillbilly relatives ate it so this weekend sounds like a good excuse to make another. Yes 4 hi-ball gumbo will work

And to the author, check the F&DB recipe' thread stickied above. Oh, and Commanders makes great gumbo. Suggest you try their's too.

Hens are the egg producers that when they have outlived thier production are then slaughtered. They are much bigger than the average "fryer" by at least 50%, and will need many hours of simmer to attain the same doneness of a fryer. Are you sure you are from Abbeville?

And the quote above was "I used a hen, not a chicken" - to which I replied - "last I checked a hen WAS A CHICKEN"....
Touchy, feely people around here today.

Don't know if you've searched TD, lately, but the search options have changed and, for lack of a better description, they suck. Can't find much of anything anymore, easily, if at all.
To the OP...for your first shot at gumbo, make chicken and andouille. It's more forgiving than seafood gumbo if you screw up.
If you don't use Tree Dawg's go to the Paul Prudhomme site and start with his. It's a fried chicken gumbo and it's very good. You can figure out your consistencies after you do it the first time, but if you follow the instructions, initially, you'll have a fine outcome. You can adjust to your tastes the next time around.

I was wondering how many pages deep before the queen bee would show up to correct any and all mistakes.
Posted on 12/1/11 at 11:22 am to Gris Gris
You are usually the go to person on gumbo is all it meant. The queen bee refers to a friend named Anne Baldridge of Liesure Landing(rented group of mourners wailing) records fame(infamy), and was her nick-name, and is meant with respect.

Well, okay... you were nearing the spell stage.

Check out the site Fantes.com, it is nirvana on steroids. It reminds me of Powells bookstore(five story city block building) in Portland Oregon.
