I put a can of Rotel in all my gumbos. I'm sure I'm about to get destroyed for this but I like it.

Took my 3rd zanax for the day. Fixing a big old gin and tonic chaser.

Stop using the term "gumbos" with Rotel. Stop it!Stop it! Stop it!

I'm going out to dinner in a bit and this thread better be done and on page 2 or anchored when I came back. I can't take any more!

Oh, and Martini, I don't cook the green onions for 30. I put them in right before serving and give it a stir. Then, I garnish each bowl with some mo. They are crunchy deliciousness.

That's my point. The OP of that thread made a point of saying "I put the green onions in thirty minutes before so they are crunchy."

Add a green onion into a boiling cauldron of gumbo thirty minutes before you serve and they would be about as crunchy as a summertime booger.

you do mean lunch, right? It's about 5-6 hours early for your normal dinner time, no?

One would have to be a real crappy cook to not know that tomatoes not only go in all gumbos, but also jambalayas, cassoulets, crawfish etouffee', dirty rice, oyster dressing, chili and boudin. Just to name a few.

Read that again and clarify.

And don't get the dandruff up here on a cassoulet. That was epic and almost drove Martini to have a drink.

You just separated yourself from all these pretend "cooks". I would be honored to dine at your table anytime.

I have no doubt that you would use real, homemade ketchup.

Without reading all the hate below, these are the ground rules:

1. If you are making a Cajun gumbo you DO NOT add tomatoes.

2. If you are making a Creole gumbo you MUST add tomatoes.

Carry on.

Gumbo is a sweep the kitchen stew or soup. Pretty much always use whatever you have laying around.

Johnnys should start selling gumbo.

probably be better than their Baton Rouge pizza.

It's spelled 'Xanax' Gris. You must've gone to public school.
