Thinking about taking dish and converting it to a sanwich for tailgating or parties

Standard dressing?

Maybe a slaw for some texture variation?

Dare I say potato salad?

Slaw of some sort. Rice wine vinegar with some diced tomatoes in it, like a gumbo should have.

Nothing. I don't know about the concept. I guess it would be like eating chicken and andouille etouffee on a bun.



I guess you could go with the gusto and add an okra and tomato salad to muss it up further. I kid. Don't do that.

Are you going to prepare it as a gumbo and then put it on the sandwich? I would saw the slaw for sure. You want something that's going to take some of the moisture so the bread doesn't get too soggy.

Potato salad could potentially work... maybe roasted potatoes?

Are you going to do something like a roast beef poboy and make them fork and knife type? Maybe a cross between au jus and gravy.

this was my thinking when I saw shredded chicken in gumbo pot

And for anyone wondering, no rice will be in this sandwich. That's just dumb.

Hope you have a port o can close to your tailgate. All that mixture has colon blow written all over it.

Not that I'd pass it up but I'd venture to guess I'd miss the second half.

Potato salad would make it too starchy in my opinion.

I'd just serve it as Gumbo, but if you're dead set on this, make sure the bread is well toasted and buttered, serve over coleslaw, and bring plenty of napkins.

The guy trying to make a gumbo sandwich is in no place to be calling people dumb I like your ambition but I don't see this working out. Pretty sure it would be a thing by now if there was a decent way to accomplish it. Anyway, good luck

Rouge, I mean no offense, but the thought of that is just not a good one, to me. Mustard with gumbo mixed up in it just sounds bad.

Why does it have to be dressed anyway? I dip bread in my gumbo, but I don't want any slaw or mayo or anything else with it. Just sprinkle some gumbo file on it and let it be if you're going to do it.

I'm assuming you are going to strain it and serve like a gumbo pulled meat tray?

I could see it working that way.

Explain this pipe dream?

I think your idea is faulty from the get go. What are you going to arrive at in the end? A chicken and sausage debris sandwich?

I would cook the gumbo a little thicker by either reducing it or using more roux and use more meat than usual. Sounds like it may be good to me.

I have never really seen this done anywhere but it may work if you do it right. I have had some gumbo fries though which were good.
