There's your answer OP.

Yep. You’d swear their ancestors couldn’t swim the bayou and bridges were never built.

then started talking about how real New Orleans french bread gets its flavor from water from the Mississippi.
I know New Yorkers say their bagels second to none because of the local water supply.
I feel the same way about Abita Beer. Very distinct taste across their entire range because of the Abita Springs water.

One time I made french bread. Worked all day on it and thought it was really good. My parents agreed it was pretty good and then started talking about how real New Orleans french bread gets its flavor from water from the Mississippi.
Same here. I made a great sauce piquant after doing a bunch of recipe research and testing it out a couple times. My parents said it was good, but then my dad slipped and said something about how "the real thing" has such-and-such in it.

So far, investigation has shown that Meemaw Connie added tomato to the gumbo, which started the argument, in which her grandson Corey P. Melancon stated she would be “put in a home if she kept pullin’ dat bullshite on ’em.” Connie then took her roux spoon after Melancon and gave him a good pop on his head, which turned into full-fledged assault.

By the time Peyroux was writing his treatise on sassafras, Africans had been present in Louisiana for some 60 years, plenty long enough for their traditional okra-based stews to have entered the larger culinary culture of the colony.
Kangs.

My gumbo recipe is a deep dark secret,
Ban worthy IMO.
If it's such a secret then just don't mention it because now I want it.

Some say you should only use one of the core thickeners when making Gumbo. File' (dried sassafras leaves), Roux or Okra.
My grandma used all three for seafood gumbo, but only roux when it was chicken gumbo, and only file for green gumbo.
She learned from her nanny. I wish I would have paid more attention to her recipe. She would call it cajun gumbo, because she said cajun roux is oil and flour and creole roux is butter and flour.

That observation is universal. There is a reason it is called the "no true scotsman" fallacy and isn't named after the peoples of South Louisiana.

If it's slimy you did it wrong.
I also make a roux (usually with bacon grease) and and don't use a ton of okra.
