re: Is there a more overrated meal than Gumbo?

Gumbo is awesome..... and very simple to make.

Wrong board

Gumbo is overrated af

It’s not overrated when combined with TDs in the fall.

Or tiddies.

You want the downvote record? Because this is how you get the downvote record.

downvote 170

It’s the absolute best soup for a cold or cool or hot and humid day ever IMO.

Now, is it a bit taken over the top? Probably, it’s just that people take it really really serious around here, and I’d say it’s without a doubt my favorite local cuisine, except maybe a really really good shrimp poboy. Now, give me a half a shrimp poboy, and a cup of chicken and andouille gumbo for lunch and I’m another man. Life changing.

what the hell is the point of okra? just dumb.

The dish was likely named after one of its two main ingredients, okra or filé. In the Niger–Congo languages spoken by many slaves from West Africa, the vegetable okra was known as ki ngombo or quingombo; the word is akin to the Umbunduochinggômbo and the Tshiluba chinggômbô"okra". In the language of the native Choctawpeople, filé, or ground sassafras leaves, was called kombo[/b]
