Use Verons andouille. Use it also as your sausage since it's not very smoky. Excellently flavored for gumbo.

Chris's in Lakeview is pretty good. I'm not going to say better than Laplace, but best I have purchased in the metro area.

The casing from Wayne jacobs is natural casing. If you cook the gumbo down for hours, like any good gumbo should, it will become tender. The casing holds a lot of smoke flavor. If you don't want it in your gumbo, take the casing off and put it in your stock, it would be a shame to waste that smoke flavor.

Why do you have to "cook it down" for hours? I understand the stock takes a couple of hours to make, but why does the gumbo have to simmer for so long?

I just wanted his opinion on why he thinks a gumbo has to simmer for so long. I know it's unnecessary I just wanted to know why he did this.

I smoke my chicken thighs before I put them in the pot, that gives a great smoke flavor. I wouldn't want much more smoke flavor.

Without the smoke flavor, are the Laplace andouilles worth the drive. Compared to a veron's that I can by locally?
