    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.

    Ok let?s get one thing straight. True authentic gumbo is NOT from New Orleans that is NOT Cajun country!! (Cajun country includes ? Acadian, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. martin, St. Mary and vermilion parishes also anybody is from true Cajun country would NEVER put stewed tomatoes, boiled chicken, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, or bay leaves. Making gumbo is a tradition that is handed down from older generations true Cajun?s it is something you learn by watching there is no true measurement for ingredients that go into gumbo. And a good gumbo takes hours to cook. If anybody is traveling through south Louisiana on I10 if you want true Cajun gumbo take exit 115 in Henderson to Crawfish Town USA it is owed and operated by local people who have grown up on real Cajun food. enjoy
    thanks

    I live in NC and unfortunatly couldn't find a few of the ingredients...tasso, file powder & Kitchen Bouquet... Even leaving all of those ingrdients out, it turn out pretty tasty. Not sure I'll be making it again though. It's good, but a lot of work.
