How do you manage gumbo with saltines??
This is the first I've heard of said practice.. If I have saltines with gumbo, which for me is not a requirement, I have em on the side with butter.

I've never put crackers in my gumbo. I put them in vegetable soup, sometimes, though.
I will dip toasted French bread in gumbo.
This ^^^^
Sometimes I won't eat rice with it and just use more french bread, but usually only when its leftovers.

I always use Saltines. Probably only 7 or 8 with a good size bowl though.
And with chili...I've added crushed (finely crushed) cheese Doritos to the pot at the end of cooking. It makes a pretty good thickener. I'll also crunch up a few (not so fine) and add to my bowl. I'll do saltines in chili too (bowl, not the pot).

Tigre, what you are eating is soup.

If it is really dark and well-made gumbo (like KPaul's) I prefer it without rice as well.

I wouldn't consider rice essential to gumbo. It's a filler and doesn't really add anything to the dish besides that, IMO.

depends on how thick it is.....or how hungry i am......when the gumbo was cooked.....what kind........what mood im in........
i dont always do with out rice.....but like lettuce on a burger, its a filler without taste!

I use at least 1 sleeve of saltines in 2 bowls of gumbo, and never eat chili without crushing Lance peanut butter crackers in it.
