Food Philosophy: When is Gumbo not Gumbo?
« on: June 27, 2012, 06:05:32 pm »
Ok, so I had the idea to make chicken gumbo.  However, I know I don't have certain items.  At what point does gumbo become soup?

So, in order of importance (I feel):

No okra
No Andouille sausage
No celery for the Trinity

However, I do have File powder, and I can make a damn good roux.

Aaaaaand GO!

Okra is cow food, not people food.

So if I add beef, then I'm adding okra by proxy.  Genius!

Without okra, I'm not sure it's gumbo. But it would still be delicious.

“People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.”
