Don't you know that the biggest single difference between the majority of Coonasses and Rednecks is that the Coonasses have learned how to season their food?

Not a chance. I'm Pure Redneck from Cental Mississippi. I picked up on this living with a bunch of South La kids in school at LSU.

Sounds like a large recipe. How many does this feed and/or how many gallons does it make?

Mine's got a lot of the same ingredients, but I've never thought to use L&P in mine. Might try it next time.

Substitute those chickens for a couple of hens and you got a winner... I am really intrigued by the addition of the lea and perrins.... I have never heard of this. Where did you learn this from???

I use a 4 gallon pot and typically end up with about 3 gallons..........If you are gonna go thru all the work, this is the smallest batch I ever make........

My method is to get the Stock bubbling, Brown my Sausage and start Roux. Its on a low fire so in between stirs (every few minutes) I am busy chopping veggies and doing other prep. Untill you get it all in one pot and blending, I pretty much stay in the Kitchen.............slowly drinking Beer helps this process along.........

This, Egg, is the biggest debate among Gumbo lovers. The dish itself is named after an African word for Okra and was initially created around it as the main ingredient and is a major thickening ingredient, but, many people just don't like Okra so its not included...........File' added to your bowl at serving time is an alternative thickening method.

IMO, Gumbo should always include Okra.............let the debate continue!!!!

Gumbo is about your own personal tastes. I don't like okra in gumbo, so I never use it nor will I order gumbo with okra in it. My gumbo is very good. So are gumbos with okra. They just aren't for me.

Some folks get stomach issues from gumbo, like my Mom, so we never included it growing up. Just what I'm used to.

Make it like YOU like it.

I love okra and tomatoes, together. I just don't like either in my gumbo.
