Something about your gumbo that others may not care for

Is there anything you may do with gumbo basics that others may not??
I have gotten into the habit of really rendering the sausage down a lot in the oven. It's not burned, but pretty dried out. At some point in the past, my kids really liked it and I've just kept it that way ever since. Also, because I'm in Alabama and can't always keep really good andouille in the freezer, I end up using Savoy's or some other mass supply brand and this seems to intensify the flavor some.

I put fresh thyme in mine
Some people don't like it
But I don't care. That's the way I like it

Someone once suggested I put potato salad in my gumbo. Then I had a bowl of runny, lukewarm potato mush.
Potato salad always on the side and never in the gumbo!

I like putting liver in mine.

I'm heavy handed with the file. I know people tend to dislike even using file, but I love it and put extra.

I always put thyme and bay leaf in mine.

I like mine spicy, like nose running spicy. I don't often cook it nearly as spicy as I personally like it.

I smoke chicken thighs then remove the skin and bones then roast the bones and vegetables and make a stock with the skins included. Between that, the andouille, sausage, and smoked chicken its too smokey for some.
Granted nobody ever complained of that but if they only have one bowl I assume that's why.

Our family made gumbo the same way for a lot of years, and it made the whole house smell like a smokehouse in the best way possible.
I heard this for the first time this year. Mom asked if I could smoke a turkey and turkey breast for 2 of her friends. The day I picked them up, only the breast was there. Mom said her other friends children didn't like smoked turkey

Something that made a noticeable change in the last pot I made was that I let it simmer for 2-3 hours before serving. The change was noticeable in that the meat was fall apart tender---even the sausage seemed to be very tender.

Mine smells like Jacob's in Laplace today and I cooked it on Friday.

We put boiled eggs in ours.... that's usually a conversation starter at least.

I do that too. Or cook them in the shell in the gumbo, peel them and put them back in.

I put whole eggs because I like boiled eggs.
