Hmmm. Sounds like someone could stand to do some historical research on the word "gumbo," but I'll be nice and let you educate yourself.

Look I don't want to go to Deacon 4 over Okra Gumbo. It's beyond dispute that different regions in the state have different styles of gumbo. Example New Orleans has the "kitchen sink" approach that I don;t really care for. But each to his own.

I'm just saying classic "prairie" cajun style gumbo less is more. And they're considered entirely distinct dishes.

If you haven't tried chicken and sausage gumbo without Okra you really should.
