If your Momma says it's Gumbo and YOU say it's good.That's enough for me.Like when does a steak become a roast? 2",3",4".If I want a 2" roast or a 4" steak,It's my business. :thumb: BTW,it looks KILLER! :clap2:

Since I've never cared for the taste of file' (ground sassafras leaves) in gumbo, I've always started with a roux and added okra later in the cook. They both act as a thickener to a point.

BTW deepsouth,
Yours looks exceptional. My compliments to your Mom.

I'd hit that.

We never use a roux in our gumbo either. We just use rice to sop up the juice and thicken it up. Nice use of the okra.

Regardless of what you call it, it does look really good :thumb:

I'll pass on the gumbo - not because it is rouxless but because it has seabugs in it. I will however take that steak off your hands... looks great!

I don't care if y'all call it Betty, that stuff looks and sounds great!

I think it's funny how some people get bent about what something is called. Heck...I don't fuss about y'all calling something other than pulled pork "BBQ". LOL:roll:
