re: What ratio of rice to gumbo do y’all put in your bowl?

Add 1/2 cup rice to 2 cups gumbo.

You're a weird cat

The gumbo? It’s leftover from rons in Metairie I beleive. Pretty solid

I've had so many different types and styles of gumbo over the years and have never particularly liked those that was thin, watery and more like a soup.

To me, gumbo is more like a hearty stew with a richness that comes with a thicker gravy to go with whatever you put in it as far as meat or seafood.

Personally, I go with like a 70/30 gumbo to rice. Is that the norm?

This is about how I fix my bowls of Gumbo. 70/30

I don't measure. Just eyeball it.

I'm about 20% rice to 80% gumbo. I prefer more liquid versus eating a bowl of rice and gravy.

finally we can discuss something of core importance to our culinary habits

i do 60/40 gumbo to rice, mainly because its the rice that fills you up so i dont want to be hungry again an hour later

but after greedy people trawl most of the meat out of the leftovers, i often go 30/70 gumbo to rice and its "almost" just as good since the liquid still has the meat flavor
