Not me! No bay leaves in my gumbo! I don't even understand the need for them. So much flavor from other ingredients. Simple is better for me, though many folks like to add everything but the kitchen sink, which is fine if they like it.
Paul Prudhomme's chicken and andouille original recipe has no bay nor a bunch of other herbs. It's very simple and the one I follow most closely for my own gumbo.
I don't care for Emeril's recipe.
Otis will be along to sing the praises of bay leaves, soon.

I throw a few bay leaves in when I make stock, but never while actually cooking gumbo.

No funny stuff in stock I use for gumbo.

I just saw an Instagram photo of smoked pork, collard greens, and sweet potato gumbo! It looked nothing like gumbo, but I bet it tasted great.
Rule: it has to be actual gumbo in order to be called gumbo. (That rule won't stick, I bet,)

Interesting! Sort of gumbo z'herbes with sweet potato, perhaps.

Wrong. First, it's the opposite. Second, that saying was started before every boat got a mandated refrigerator so it's obsolete.

I just make stock, not so much for a specific purpose. Generally the bones/scraps, bay leaves, and whole peppercorns.
Posted on 6/10/16 at 3:52 pm to SW2SCLA
I use onions, celery, parsley and some peppercorns. I can simmer it with whatever else I think I need depending on the dish, so I stay a bit generic.

That's what my grandma always said.
She lived to be 98.
That's when I pick the leaves to dry.

When in doubt, Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup.

You need a few bay leaves in your stock...and you should know that.

Not in stock for gumbo. You should know that.

Why no bay leaves? Does bay leaves really leave behind a strong flavor? I haven't noticed it myself. Might have to experiment.
