“Bruh. No. Don’t use butter to make a roux for gumbo, the butter will be bitter in no time. Use a high heat oil, bacon grease, or lard. How many times do we have to say that tomatoes don’t belong in gumbo. Don’t use olive oil either because it burns and becomes” — a cook
“No tomatoes in gumbo. Jambalaya is "almost" the same recipe and I use tomatoes + long grain white rice for it. And NO okra....just cause it's too slimy for me. Ya want okra, fry it. Nothing better than fresh fried okra.” — a cook, 3★
