Thread: A Texan does gumbo

And she was so Cajun, her birth certificate has no town of birth, just Lafourche Parish.

That's a waste of shrimp IMO. Ether make a seafood gumbo or a chicken sausage gumbo, but don't mix the two.IMO

JR, that's what makes the world go round. We always had plenty of shrimp around home growing up as we always had a shrimp boat or my dad worked on one. I've even had fish and crawfish in gumbo's, but did not care much for it.

If you like Bones in the Gumbo add 4 or 5 Squirrels to the Pot ,,,, Just Kidding --

I've had squirrel gumbo. Real good, but my all time favorite was a dove and sausage gumbo.

Yep............. but with all the kids grown and gone except one, unless it's a get together it's just small batches here now...........
