I'll meet you half way. Shreveport random thoughts Send a noteboard - 31/01/2015 12:14:04 PM

Gumbo does have options but okra and a good rue are not among them. I lived in Chicago for a while and my friends mom heard I was from Texas and wanted me to try her chili. It was some of the best hamburger soup I had ever had but it really wasn't that close to chili. She thought to much chili powder made it harsh and added vegetables to make is more healthy and I am not sure she had ever even heard of cumin.

Besides I am pretty quick with prep work and I can nock out a decent traditional gumbo is three hours. It is all about getting the rue right.

Looks good. Rebekah - 29/01/2015 06:05:00 PM 917 Views
I don't know what you just linked is, but it's not a gumbo. Looks almost like an etouffee. Ghavrel - 29/01/2015 06:26:08 PM 696 Views
That looks delicious. Rebekah - 29/01/2015 07:02:03 PM 724 Views
The ingredients of a basic etouffee are pretty simple. You can use shrimp in place of crawfish. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/01/2015 12:43:24 AM 295 Views
Now that is a gumbo recipe random thoughts - 30/01/2015 01:31:16 PM 648 Views
good lord. My grandmother's gumbo has... less than ten ingredients, counting salt and pepper. nossy - 30/01/2015 09:23:27 PM 611 Views
The only things I'd demand would be onion, bell pepper, celery, okra, seafood, stock, and the roux. Ghavrel - 30/01/2015 09:38:19 PM 536 Views
some of those gross me out. nossy - 30/01/2015 09:48:55 PM 611 Views
