    Jennee,

    Sorry you seem to dislike this recipe so strongly, but this is MY family's recipe, I didn't say it had to be yours. I have always believed that food and family recipes are like the best scrapbook......you remember family members that are no longer around when you make "their" dishes and that's what this gumbo does for me. I don't believe that food has to be a certain way to be right.........that would take all the fun out of the whole experience if we turn our noses up at everything because it's not the way we make it. Enjoy thanks- Lauren Wyler

    I made this recipe, following the directiona and it was fantastic. My husband is not an okra fan, but this recipe sucessfully addresses the guminess that can be affiliated with okra in gumbo. Follow the recipe and you will not be disappointed.

    This dish is truly an awe inspiring dish. It tasted good, it looked good, and it smelled good. It is definitely what good food should be.
