Y’all have me really wanting to try the sweet potato thing. That’s one of my favorite foods.

Sweet potatoes are especially good with duck or wild game gumbos.

What kind of question is this? Of course you can eat gumbo without rice. You will go through more of it since the rice is more of a filler but it doesn’t affect the taste a whole lot.

I go the no rice method. It’s hard because I also like potato salad in my gumbo but I can’t do that either.

Honestly, if you are watching your carb intake then just don’t eat gumbo. The roux has plenty of carbs. I would save my gumbo eating for those days where you allow yourself a treat and go all out with the rice and potato salad.

My wife gets on those low carb kicks. She'll do some finely shredded cabbage. She likes it.

I'm on lo-carb, I always have gumbo without rice, more gumbo, less filler.
