It's 2016, ya dont need eggs in your gumbo unless you were laid off in O&G
Why be an arse? If someone likes eggs in gumbo or eggs in red gravy, big deal. I didn't grow up with eggs in gumbo, but I love hearing old traditions. People should eat it the way they want.

But that is not what we are talking about. We are talking about an ingredient that is a traditional part of gumbo in many parts of the state.
Well that isn't what the OP is talking about so.
"I was wondering if any of you have any tips or tricks to make it better. This may or may not be for a competition."
My tip was to not put eggs in the gumbo. I've been to plenty of gumbo cookoffs, competitions and so forth and never seen an egg gumbo bring home the trophy. So if ya grandma ma put eggs in hers and you want to put it in yours...dats fine with me. It just gonna be fit for you and yours.

I would say rice in gumbo and rice in gumbo serve the same purpose.
Sure, I'd tend to agree..

You can have your bay leaves, Otis. None in my gumbo, but you eat yours the way you want it. Bon Appetit!!!

And to whoever said, "put an egg in it"
what the hell? Eggs don't go in gumbo EVER. This isn't egg drop soup
Doesn't sound like a "tip" to me. Sounds like you weren't familiar with this tradition.

All that I will add, in my extremely expert opinion, on this thread, is that GG is 100% correct in this.
Hey GG. Long time...
Oh, and okra.

Met some folks tonight from LA (D'ville and Laffy) that put on the annual "Gumbo Gala" competition here in BHAM. If you think I plan to harvest all these tips to plan a win, you would be right.

I don't consider anything east of Breaux Bridge "Cajun country".

Come down here and say that. Bet you don't make it home.

Well, the superior Cajuns live in the west. The prairie Cajuns.
More ducks, better crawfish, better boudin, better gumbo. Yalls gumbo is clear soup with okra. Sorry bro.

You wouldn't last 5 minutes on the coast cuz. Stay with your hipster buddies.

Not to mention authentic Mardi Gras. Not some trashy tourist drunk fest.

Again, come down here and share your "opinions.". See how far it gets you.

Lol...how perfect is it that someone "from real Cajun country out east" turns a gumbo thread into a "we're better than you cause you're trashy" thread? Apparently the "little brother" syndrome not only applies to football. Who knew.
FWIW, I think the best boudin and cracklins are found in and around Lafayette area. But that's it.
And I don't put eggs in my gumbo. But if that's how you roll...knock yourself out. Just not for me. I don't mind it in a crawfish stew though.

You must not be Cajun if you didn't know there's a difference between Bayou Cajuns and Prairie Cajuns. clearly attributable to your Bayou Cajun lack of refinement and education.
