Is chicken heart gumbo a real thing?

I buy them when I grill or BBQ. My dog loves any and all organ meat. I haven't heard of heart gumbo.

It's very common to throw it all in the pot


If I have hearts and/or gizzards available, they're going in the pot

My mother used to cook hearts and livers together in a little oil then water added as it dried. It made a gravy. I miss it.

Never had them in gumbo, but my high school used to fry up all the hearts, livers, and gizzards when they served fried chicken. They put them in a big bowl and you could get them if you wanted. Most people turned up their nose, but being a17-year-old bottomless pit, I found I loved hearts and livers.

I check all my pictures before posting them to see what's lurking in the background. I failed to do that years ago and my foot was in a fish pic. Now it's a thing

My old creole neighbor in New Orleans used to put freaking everything in her gumbos. She gave me some the first time, and I asked what type of gumbo it was, and she said "honey, it's best you don't know." It definitely had hearts in it, plus Lord knows what else. I'll try any food once, so I had some. Eh, not my favorite.

The only chicken heart I've ever liked was yakitori-style. Heart has always been a little too chewy for my tastes.
