when you pour your gumbo over your rice it should sit up like a sauce or stew.
So, which one is it?

He enjoys the subtle nuttiness and chocolate like essence of the more refined American Spirit?

You can get a good burger with a great side of shrimp fried rice from the hotfood express for $5.96.

Name me another "soup" that starts with a brown roux and is served over rice.

That's something I would not know, however I doubt there is a difference in cigarette preference at the end of the day for any smokers lungs.

its my experience that a South Louisiana Gumbo is the thing between a Soup and a chowder, there's more wiggle room for the Gumbo density than a soup or a chowder .

That's the reason it's called gumbo. It's a type of soup.

When we did a big catering job in Virginia a couple months ago we told all those Yankees that gumbo was a cajun/creole soup just to keep them happy.

I don't think gumbo is a soup, I think gumbo is gumbo.

ETA: thanks Walter
