Sunday Night Soups: Gumbo

If it doesn't have okra in it, it ain't gumbo.

I agree, the roux is way more crucial than okra, and the file is most crucial!
And another thing, gumbo is best as a leftover.

Priller: I think you can have a okra-less gumbo, particularly if you are using heavy amounts of meat and no seafood. But then you have to use file' to compensate.

I think you need to have a roux to be a gumbo, not necessarily okra,.
