Test...can you eat all the gumbo with a fork? If not...too runny. (Not that I eat gumbo with a fork, but it's a good test.)

Yeah, if you can eat your gumbo with a fork, you've forked it up. Dat ain't gumbo.

That's actually one of the examples I use when I tell people they have recipes in that book that make me say wtf

I can't take an etouffee recipe seriously that doesn't call for crawfish fat

I know a lot of people who put tomoato sauce in their etouffee. Maybe it's a New Orleans thing. It doesn't take much. It adds depth and makes it that great orange-ish color.

The crawfish 'fat' (though I believe that's technically incorrect) definitely is the way to go. As is a legit crawfish stock.

If you make etouffee with a non butter roux, trinity and no tomato sauce, you're pretty much just making gumbo.

"Etouffee" means smothered and the original ingredients were crawfish butter and onions
