Settle a gumbo argument

So, I'm on the treadmill with a friend in the gym and we're discussing favorite foods. I mention chicken and sausage gumbo.
Him: "I used to love gumbo but I'm on a low salt diet and can't eat it anymore."
Me: "If you don't add salt out of the shaker gumbo is not a high salt dish."
Him: "Oh, yes it is."
Me: "Do you eat spaghetti and meat balls."
Him: "Sure"
Me: "I'll bet there's more sodium in a plate of your spaghetti and meat balls with pasta sauce than a bowl of my gumbo over rice"
Him: "No way."
What says the esteemed members of the Food Board?

I guess you may get some salt from sausage and chicken stock but past that, if you dont add salt idk where it would come from

Which one makes your dogs retain more water?

Depends on who's cooking and where. In a restaurant it almost certainly would have a fair amount of salt with the sausage, stock, seasoning, and everything else. But at home, he could make it pretty low sodium

If he uses canned stock or bouillon then yea it will have more salt than spaghetti.
If he just uses water then not likely.

Depends upon how much peanut butter he puts in his roux.

I would tend to agree with you, but I don't add a lot of salt and use a whole unseasoned chicken carcass for stock and Jacob's andouille which has never struck me as having a high salt content. A lot of bottled or canned spaghetti sauces have a ton of salt and sugar as well. Like most things in life, it depends.

If you can carry on a bullshite conversation like this on the treadmill you need to be going faster.
