Okay-Cajun born and raised in Lafourche Parish.
I DO NOT add okra or tomatoes to my chicken sausage gumbo.
However I make a great Shrimp Okra gumbo that includes tomatoes.
There are many variations of gumbo depending on what part of south Louisiana you're in.
All that being said-> I would definitely eat James' gumbo.
P.S. I make my roux from scratch.

Cutting okra and adding it to a pan with hot olive oil and some Braggs liquid Aminos with a dash of garlic powder equals yum

Today I am going to the Gumbo Festival in Chackbay-Choupic, Louisiana. Their specialty is Chicken Sausage Gumbo, served with a side of potato salad. This area HAS to have a side of potato salad(or sometime in with their gumbo--not my taste.) I will report back my findings. UPDATE: Amazingly good, figuring hundreds of gallons were made.  gumbo by fatsister, on Flickr |

This Californian doesn't eat anything that would make her sick. Fast. Or anything crawling or looking at her such as trout. Rude to eat a critter looking at you.
Good thing we know what to leave out!
Okra. Yuck!

Beat the stalks and make a good crop and pick'em young. that's funny  I like your little song (and dance?), but not the okra. Okra has never made me smile before, but now I'll remember your songs and okra will bring a smile. But I won't eat it! |
