Took some birds and made a gumbo today. I make good gumbo, it's my thing.
Hadamighty that looks mighty fine!
Very nice!
Damn that looks good

Fine job, Will!
With you being a professional, what are your thoughts on the bell peppers in that particular dish? Growing up in La, I heard Justin Wilson refer to bell peppers in gumbo as "taste killers". I like bell peppers a lot but am curious about your thoughts on how well they fit in with your gumbo.
Without bell peppers there is no holy trinity.
Listen to your elders. Not because they are always right but because they have more experiences of being wrong.

What kinda Andouille do you use?

Honestly the sausage was a bit of a let down. It was some andouilli sausage from the grocery store. Some Texas Smokehouse bs. I couldn't remember between that one in another one that I'd used before. I chose poorly. It was still very very damn good though.
Yum! That looks proper.
where's the okra?
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
I see okra in the bowl with rice.
I loathe bell peppers.. they're flavorless goo.

Question on the sausage. Do you sauté the sausage prior to putting it in the pot? Or, simply slice and add to the trinity after it has cooked in the roux?
Looks great WillK!!
Only Andouille I use in Gumbo is one of 3 brands. All have proven worthy.
Comeaux's
Poche's
Savoie's - you can probably find it locally. The other two are mail order.
I went out recently and made a gumbo with some Conecuh brand smoked sausage from Alabama..I was pleasantly surprised with the result. Still prefer Andouille, but was in a bind.

Just Damn.
We call that gas station (Conoco) sausage around here.
