    I’m not much of a judge of food, can generally take it or leave it, but that looks very tempting.

    Just about anything homemade is better than the boxed stuff from the store especially chili, gumbo, soups and stews.

    Although I do like Zataran's Red Beans and Rice, suitably doctored of course.

    Your gumbo looks good, where's the taste-o-vision?

    Tryin gumbo from scratch

    Looks great...can almost smell it. Always great to do it yourself!

    Gumbo and jambalaya are two of my favorite things to fix and they’re not hard to make from scratch. Comfort food at its finest. No pictures handy of the gumbo but here some jambalaya (chicken, sausage, shrimp):

    Heh, I tend to make gumbo out of whatever didn't run away fast enough. Planning a gumbo with jackrabbit and muskrat later this week.

    I have to make Gumbo from scratch.
    I'm allergic to bell pepper.
    Found that out at 8yrs old. Ate dinner at a friend's home. Stuffed bell peppers sent me to the hospital within 15 minutes.

    Considering that idiots put bell pepper in just about everything these days, I don't eat out much anymore.
    I HATE auto-correct

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.

    Never....ever...put tomatoes in gumbo. Okra is a standard though.

    I had to laugh as when I went to look at this thread, it was right above Wolfdog91's thread entitled - "Anyone like Raccoons?"

    Sorry . . . . I don't think I have ever eaten Gumbo . . . . and it just got me to wondering . . . .

    Yeah Gator, actually I don't use okra either, but not because I don't like it. I'm allergic to it. Okra is actually the original ingredient in gumbo as a thickener.

    The Indians taught the French settlers how to use sasafrass (sp?) as a thickener, we know it as gumbo file. There are certain flavors that define gumbo, and as Gator said, it's often what you leave out that matters. For me, a dark roux made in a well used cast iron skillet is the bedrock all of the other flavors rest on top of that, it is underlying, always there on the tongue, and I do like file and also okra. To me, the mark of a successful gumbo, besides the general silence once it is served, is to be able to pick out individual flavors like shrimp, oyster, crab, mussel, crawfish, even after it is frozen and reheated. That, is good gumbo!
    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

    this is how I do a like ... all these computer whiz kids and updates and no one can come up with a stinking like button , They can probably get a like button put on their PID's and loading press but can't do a like button on the forum .
    My "Like" is kinda Wonky ... but it's all I got .
