“It looks like what I ate growing up called Gumbo. There was no roux in it. The meaning of "gumbo" is okra. So, I think technically any dish with okra as a main ingredient could be called gumbo. I added a little more (2-3 cloves) garlic and cut the tomatoes to ” — a cook, 5★
“I will make this tomorrow. I am answering the person that said gumbo file is not available. I have bought in Crown Point Indiana and Green Valley Az. When not in New Orleans or other southern areas it will be located on one of the lower shelves of the spices. ” — a cook, 5★
