    I made chicken and sausage gumbo yesterday. It was delicious. I know the chicken breasts will be juicy being cooked in the slow cooker.

    I never had gumbo, but with chicken and sausage, it sure sounds good...

    Here's a little bit of info about Gumbo. I like it because there are so many combinations which can be used. Seafood Gumbo is my favorite. I make my roux with flour and butter. I like Gumbo with okra, but okra is optional. I'll show you a couple of recipes to give you an idea of how it's made and what it looks like.

    The recipe you see here is the recipe I used last time I made Gumbo with a couple of tweaks.

    Seafood Gumbo>>http://www.food.com/recipe/seafood-gumbo-29879

    Contemporary gumbos are made with all manner of ingredients in a variety of combinations. Seafood and non-seafood gumbos are two primary types, and they may be made with or without okra. But some gumbos include ingredients from both the land and the sea. Duck, smoked sausage, and oyster gumbo is one delicious example. Some cooks add hard-boiled eggs to chicken and sausage gumbos, and quail eggs find their way into other versions. A very atypical version is the Lenten gumbo z’herbes, which is made with a variety of greens.

    Seafood gumbos often include crabs, shrimp, and oysters. Shrimp and okra gumbo is a perennial favorite, as is chicken and okra gumbo. Chicken and sausage gumbo is extremely popular, and in the households of hunters, ducks and other game birds often wind up in the gumbo pot. Turkey and sausage gumbos appear frequently during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. An unusual but delicious combination is a gumbo of steak, smoked sausage, and oysters. Some cooks use ham or tasso in their gumbos, and others use fresh sausage in place of the smoked variety. The possible combinations are virtually endless.

    One ingredient that does arouse controversy is the tomato. Some cooks use it in their gumbos, others wouldn’t be caught dead putting tomato in theirs. In that respect, the situation is analogous to jambalaya, where the question of the appropriateness of tomato is a burning issue. Tomatoes are most often found in okra gumbos, but I’ve had roux-based seafood gumbo that also contained tomato. I don’t have any hard evidence to back this up, but in my experience gumbos containing tomato are more common on the eastern side of Bayou Lafourche than they are farther west. Personally, I am for tomato in okra gumbo and against it in non-okra gumbo.

    One point everyone can agree on is that gumbo is always served with rice.https://www.southernfoodways.org/interview/a-short-history-of-gumbo/

    Remember the salt.
    rollylariviere

    Yep!That would give it more flavour.

    cabbage, carrots, mushroom, kale salad, anchovies, red cabbage. kind of boring. trying to make up for the cookies i ate today. but i did have oatmeal, blueberries, nuts, apple and coffee for breakfast, salad for lunch.

    It's all about the balance..... haha

    Chicken salad sandwich made with celery, walnuts, and dried cranberries. Melon and blueberries for dessert.

    I think the consensus is that most people are cooking chicken.

    I bought James a giant salad yesterday and he didn’t touch it. Guess what he is having tonight? Me? A left-over sandwich w/steamed veggies……...

    I've learned from spending time in the U.S., that different cuts are called by different names depending on the country (or even the area of a country) in which you live. :)
