Not just that, but they cook that shrimp forever.

They really messed this up. Not only is the recipe ridiculous, but the person making it is white. It's supposed to be Tiana's Gumbo, and she was black. Tiana is the main character in the Princess and the Frog, Disney's animated movie set in New orleans.

The dish likely derived its name from either a word from a Bantu language for okra (ki ngombo) or the Choctaw word for filé (kombo).

Just because that's the derivation of the word does not mean that okra=gumbo. Do you call a jar of pickled okra, a jar of pickled gumbo?

Uh, yes it does. At least to lots of people in the world.

But to Southerners, which this thread is about, okra does not equal gumbo. If I make tomato and okra soup, is that gumbo? If i eat a jar of pickled okra, is that a jar of gumbo?

I know the derivation of the word. You know what i'm talking about, you're just being a contrarian.

What's the difference between a tomato and okra soup and a tomato and okra gumbo?

Especially if I make a slurry with cornstarch and thicken up the soup to the thickness of a gumbo and then add Kitchen bouquet to achieve the color I want?

You can't have a Caesar salad with ranch dressing.

If you have a "Gumbo" without okra...it's a STEW...PERIOD. (Unless you add file')
