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.
