re: My first attempt at homemade gumbo (w/ pics)

When I browned all of it once to try it, I felt like I lost a lot of the andouille flavor in exchange for the browned flavor. Since I'm not a chicken lover, I do like a good bit of the pork flavor in mine. Felt like I lost the juices of the meat. That's when I tried half and half and I may do that when I make it again in the next few weeks.
