If gumbo is bland, something has gone horribly wrong in its creation.
You should have seen what those cavemen did to pecan pie and chili.
I think they were referring to the rabbit as being bland. As somebody who was born in New Orleans ... I have to agree. Rabbit just has no flavor compared to literally every other type of meat used in a "traditional" gumbo.
@Jenny Shull ..
Sho nuf!!!
Seems like the cook doesn't know how to make gumbo and they definitely don't know how to serve it the it should be like a Stew not a fuckin curry
@@richard3365 She said it was bland when she Bit into the kielbasa
I live next door to Louisiana (Texas) and have been there many times. I didn't see anything that resembled gumbo. and if it is bland, it damn sure ain't gumbo.
Agreed, but I didn't want to sound like a Cajun Hipster. I've had a ton of Gumbo here in Louisiana and not once seen an Oyster.
@@fredcarlson5873 There is a chain (few restaurants) here in Texas (Houston to be exact) called Goode company seafood, they have the BEST (my opinion) seafood gumbo with oysters and crab meat. We're close to Louisiana and know a little about it, Houston is a melting pot of cuisines!
I live in PA and it doesn't look like gumbo to me either.
Cindy K. Lol if you're not from Louisiana then your idea of best gumbo is invalid 🤣🤣🤭
@@fredcarlson5873 my grandma makes turkey oyster gumbo the Sunday after Thanksgiving every year. Alot of people use oysters. I've seen cracked crab, eggs, okra, almost any type of sea food, chicken, sausage but lamb and black eyed peas never in my life lol
I'm from Louisiana and have been eating gumbo all my life (over 60 years) and I've never seen any gumbo like ANY of these, ever, in the South. And I've eaten gumbo in restaurants and homes and civic occasions in over 8 states. The ONLY time I've seen anything like this was in New Jersey at a "Cajun" restaurant where NONE of the help or even the cook have ever even been to Louisiana; the cook said he got the recipes for his Cajun meals from a cookbook published in Philadelphia. Sometimes take a gander (but certainly not a taste) of "authentic" Cincinnati (or Cincinasti, as a lot of people call it) chili
I thought the first one was pretty close (edit: Correction. The first one PICTURED, which they didn't actually get to eat). They served it in the most bizarre way imaginable, but the gumbo itself looked pretty good. Then again, I was born in New Orleans but my family moved when I was young, so I may not be 100% "authentic".
Funny! I thought it looked like a gumbo from the northeast as well.
I think he is right the people from the south created gumbo I'm sure they have enuff experience. My understanding of gumbo was they created it in the rural South none could have afforded to buy shrimp so they used crawdads instead.
Even I've eaten gombo,it good, whats with the white rice in this video
mroilcat
I like the Cincinnati style chili served over pasta.
I'm extremely jealous of Dermot! Elga obviously gave him a kiss on the cheek!!! LOL
I am jealous of Elga I want to give Dermot a kiss lol
She's gorgeous he's very lucky!
Every person from Louisiana in the comments ( including me ) is basically having a what the fuck moment at their attempt of gumbo.
And your neighbors are too! Alabama native here, and none of that looked like gumbo.
Biloxi born girly here, saying "what is that sh*t?" through out the whole video.
Basically the same shock reaction any Italian gets when he sees "italian" pizza in America...
So true. I was expecting to see bad gumbo but we didn't even get that. I don't know what they were eating... but a Cajun sure didn't cook it.
Depending on where you live in Louisiana, gumbo can vary a bit. From the creole influence close to New Orleans, to the basic chicken and sausage of North Louisiana, the seafood gumbo down by the Gulf, to the chicken & andouille along with boiled eggs in Avoyelles Parish...Ain't none of that crap gumbo...
Never have I ever heard someone call Cajun food BLAND!!!
it's Irish food trying to be Cajun.
Suicidal Teddy Bear Cajun food is bland.
Than you've never had authentic Cajun food before
Yes I have. Plenty. It isn't at all. The only people really amazed by Cajun food are Cajun people.😂😂 You overrated yourselves.
Something's wrong with your tastebuds then
“Why bring another animal into it? It’s a tornado of murder.” 😆
I've had Squirrel Gumbo that was awesome (not making a joke).
That's not Louisiana gumbo that was an etouffee
Agree
does etouffee use oil for the roux or butter
I'm from Louisiana and I've never seen gumbo look like that 😂 and I've never heard of lamb gumbo
I grew up in New Orleans and Lafayette Louisiana. Nobody there has ever, since the beginning of time, eaten lamb or rabbit gumbo. Or put oysters in a file gumbo.
NuclearGrizzly speak 4 yourself , rabbit gumbo is the sh*t
You said that right NuclearGrizzly rabbit might get in there but it wouldn't be gumbo, maybe, but lamb? Oysters? no way !
James Crawford And where's the half a crab that was too busted up to boil? If you don't almost choke to death on a piece of crab shell it ain't gumbo.
NuclearGrizzly Lafayette!
I’m takin this horse by the reins makin’
Redcoats redder with bloodstains
Lafayette!
And I’m never gonna stop until I make ‘em
Drop and burn ‘em up and scatter their remains, I'm
Lafayette!
Gumbo was a grab bag(pot?) of stuff at my house I liked my moms, Loved my grandmas and hid whenever my uncle decided to 'treat' us to his finesse in the chicken. Man I miss a good crawfish boil ! Hey Facts fly some of your people down to Louisiana for a Crawfish Boil they'll love it !
Are we not even going to mention that Dermot has a lipstick kiss on his face? What happened there?
Elga got fiesty
I know, I had to keep rewinding. Hard to tell if it was there the whole shoot or not. Why didn’t they show us? Lol
That lucky bastard!
Might be because it didn't have peanut butter in it and he actually liked something for once. I guess it's for his positive comments for the first time
Perhaps they did the aphrodisiac shoot before?
Just to give some context, Louisiana Gumbo is an old Cajun tradition where everything in the yard is cooked up into a soup over rice. So, if they caught shrimp and fished all day, the left over bait went into the pot. (Small Shrimp) Any vegetables, tomatoes, garlic, onions, peppers, and all of this is started with a pot with butter and flour and garlic that is heated until the mixture is golden brown. Add spices and vegetables and let it simmer. Add water and broth from boiling other ingredients and finally, oysters, chicken, fish, crawfish, and finally, Okra as a sizing agent to thicken the soup and then dump it over rice and there is the traditional Gumbo. In fact, the recipe varies by the season and what is being harvested. It is a hearty and tasty soup filled with flavors and nutrients that keep Cajuns healthy, wealthy and wise. Never discount the Boudain Sausage either. It is a Cajun mixture of wild pork, rice, spices and is used in some Gumbo recipes as a supplement when other protein is in short supply. Some other Proteins include Alligator, Crab and Rabbit. Possum is usually reserved for only true Cajuns.
I disagree that gumbo is a “Cajun” recipe. It’s actually a cultural blend. Creoles also traditionally make gumbo. The word gumbo is actually derived from an African word for okra and obviously the term came from the slaves who were brought over. That’s why I hate when people say okra doesn’t belong in gumbo because gumbo means okra. .
Your wrong as well...learn your Cajun history...Gumbo is not Originally a Cajun dish...it was a African dish that black folk brought over and mixed with the Cajuns and made Creole and the Recipe evolved
love your take on it, but your roux should be a very DARK brown when it’s ready.
I'm from Lafayette Louisiana, the heart of Cajun country. I haven't seen some of those gumbos EVER! I'm positive you would love my wife's gumbo. She makes her roux from scratch and is so thick it's nearly a stew. She puts in chopped onions and bell peppers, chicken, sausage, and a pork meat called tasso. It's served in a bowl over rice. We season it for spice, not burn. Many people here use different things for their seafood gumbo. Most often used is shrimp (prawns), crawfish tails, oysters, and sometimes a fresh caught fish added in near the end of the cooking since it doesn't take look to cook once it's been cleaned and deboned. Some go crazy like the other gumbos you hated. Would love for you to taste ettouffee (shrimp, crawfish, or chicken).
Sailor Dave So when's dinner? 😉
Unfortunate she will not make it unless it's cold outside. Same with her beef vegetable soup. Stew meat, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, and whatever other vegetables she can throw in.
I love this --- when it's cold outside -- does it ever really get that cold in LA? :)
Sara Duty, we take our coats out the closet when it gets down into the low 60s. An average winter can have several days below 32. When it might get to the mid 20s it's called a "hard freeze". Keep in mind many homes are built a few feet off the ground and our homes are insulated more for hot summers than cold winters.
Lol, I love your authentic old school true creole Louisiana accent.
lamb and blackeye peas in gumbo!! What the hell are you thinking!!! That is not GUMBO!!!
O.o NONE OF THESE ARE GUMBO!!!!!!
The first one is (edit: correction, the first one PICTURED. They didn't actually get to eat that one). It's served a little odd (I've NEVER had a ball of rice with the gumbo poured around the edge) but otherwise it's about as "traditional" as you can get. Shrimp, sausage (I'm hoping it's Andouille but they may not have that over there), and chicken in a roux sauce. Personally, I have to make it without the shrimp because it makes me sick (not as in a "it'll kill me" allergy, just all seafood makes me nauseous for unknown reasons) but it's still one of my favorite meals to make. For the record, I was born in New Orleans but my family moved out when I was young, so I may not be 100% "authentic" anymore, but I've had that first style of gumbo since before we moved.
I've never heard of that and I've lived on the Texas/Louisiana border my entire life
+Fire Bug This is a great series of videos, but they serve so much bogus stuff, like the "San Francisco Hot Dog". Lamb and blackeye peas, though, is blasphemy of the worst order.
@Carlton Thibodeaux the ball of rice is usually jambalaya, isn't it?
99% of Gumbo i see on TH-cam is NOT Gumbo 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
"Tornado Of Murder"
Definitely using that for a song....unless Dethklok already did.
"IS THAT WHERE THEY GOT THE NAME?!" His face, my heart, I can't😂
Dermot got a big ol' kiss on the cheek!
+*August Butler*
Watch. We'll find out they did a lipstick video and that's from George or someone equally unexpected.
+nakyer That would make me really happy XD
honestly it must of happened during shooting of this video cause up to the end of the classic gumbo segment he didn't have the kiss mark plus the color matches the color she is wearing.
Dermot: "Subtlety woman! Subtlety! That's all we're asking for here!"
Always fun to see Dermot having a good day at work! LMAO!!!
I’m from Louisiana and first of all these gumbos were super thick and I’ve never heard of lamb, black eyed peas or oysters in gumbo. Gumbo is more of a soup consistency normally instead of gravy. If you’re making a gravy base then you have étouffée instead
They made it for Irish tastes.
I just love these clips being an American of Irish descent. Having been raised in the southern US, I love when they taste test Southern food. Thanks for putting a smile on my face!!!
born and raised in Louisiana. Someone invites me for gumbo and I see that shit I'm going to prison for murder. You fed those people slop that was supposed to feed the pigs.
+Cpt Murica11 Meh, I'd still eat all of it.
What they serve is an Irish interpretation. Sometimes they get it right. I wish they would go on the road to the source of some of this food to compare; NYC for pizza, Nola for some gumbo. Gomez, go eat a taco.
Send me Blaithin and Nicole so I can feed them some real Cajun food.
New Orleans is Creole country. That isn't real gumbo either.
Well, some gumbo is Creole; the holy trinity for the roux base (onions, bell peppers and celery) from the French/Cajuns, Okra is African, File powder is Native American. Add in fresh ingredients from the local waters/land and there you go.
"Its a tornado of murder" definitely the best line.
😅😅😂🤣 thanks guys your honesty is Great !
Heard "It's a tornado of murder". Had to check description to see if that was the quote. It was. Best. Quote. Ever.
"Lamb's so fresh it's still running through the fields."
God that's so Irish. 😂
Kevin Whitter I agree. I had to replay that part about 8 times. I love her voice and her look.
As an American I'm surprised she said that as our meats are genetically modified with hormones while Europeans have normal all natural live stock they eat.
Viva Europa that is no wonder why we Europeans don't have such high obesity rates, our Irish government has banned Subway bread because of its high sugar contents. Government said that it is not bread with too much sugar. Subway bread is classed as a cake.
Americans never had high obesity rates in 1980s, as their foods were healthier. If you compare obesity map of USA with the divorce map, crime map, suicide map, etc, you will find that unhealthy foods are triggering most societal problems.
this is some of the most jacked up gumbo I've ever seen 😂
I feel the need to travel to Ireland and cook actual American food for these poor people. I have no idea what that was but I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually gumbo (Southeast Texas here).
Louisiana here. That was NOT gumbo!
Thank you. I would like to do the same thing.
Southwest Louisiana here. That gumbo made my memaw mad. I really think someone should go and make them some shrimp gumbo
Chas SC here.. even I know better... My Daddy always said he must have been Cajun in another life ..
Agreed.
Still waiting to see the authentic Louisiana gumbo.
Patti Daigle I
Patti Daigle same
only real Cajuns know
It is still in the Southern US. Irish folk can't possibly know about it unless they visit. I cook all my own foods, and gumbo is on my list. Eateries must really be special for me to go and eat out, but only because they can't do a good job at cooking. I usually have complaints.
Patti Daigle
Exactly!!
I saw no proper gumbo...
Holy crap, gumbo sounds good right now!
Come to New Orleans and try actual gumbo please!
New Orleans? Hell no go way down da’ bayou ( cocadrie,golden meadows,montegut) and enjoy cajon gumbo.
Heck send them to Creole
@@lorrimiller7010 Don't forget Pointe-Aux-Chenes lol.
Now ya talkin, cher! New Orleans gumbo is Creole, not Cajun.
@@veritasestveritas8646 thank YOU!!!!!
I wanna know what Dermot in the redhead were doing, I mean her lipstick is on his cheek. Where else might it be lol🤣🤣😎
LoL Poor Dermot! Someone sees a sausage and wants to bite it and he's running 'round the bend! LoL Love it!
I'm trying to be positive here, but I live in New Orleans and I've never heard of most of these "Gumbos". They also look really weird and I've also never seen a gumbo so thick it could be eaten with a fork.
Thanks for trying though! :)
Amina Melancon I think they went to Bulgaria for their Gumbo...
My grandma's gumbo could be eated (with rice) with a fork.
These are etouffees and not a gumbo at all. You're correct a gumbo is more soupy, or has more broth.
Irish people calling Cajun food bland.....now that's funny
I am sad & disappointed!!! Whoever made those so-called 'Gumbos' did a GOD AWFUL job!!!!!!!!! None had the right color, nor the right consistency. There is no way in hell a Gumbo should be eaten with a fork. Different Gumbos have different colors & flavors. If it is bland, sorry Boo, you haven't had Gumbo!!!
I saw not a SPECK of filé in the File Gumbo.....Like,what da hell.... That's my favorite one!!!!! BTW...I'm a Louisianian, in the city of New Orleans to be specific.
JAHLON JACKSON yep if it ain’t green then it ain’t good lol!
I live in Louisiana and the "gumbo" was a complete fucking lie. For christ sake it was in a plate, gumbo does not go in a plate
I agree Louisianaian by way of st Martin parish
Are you getting an Irish chef to make their version of American cuisine ? Most of this stuff is unrecognizable to anyone in America that eat these dishes, and some of them we have never heard of.
btw I still enjoy watching.
...You dont have to be from the deep south the make good gumbo...Thats like saying you have to be italian to make good pasta...
Well, if someone from Louisiana taught you how to make a gumbo, then you might get a pass. My mom was a hillbilly from Kentucky, but my dad's sisters taught her how and she nailed it to the point that hers ended up being about as authentic as you can get.
@@dreray4077 👄By someone needs to make them a real gumbo so they can have a decent comparison!!
@@dreray4077 problem is that they are passing this cheap imitation off as actual American gumbo
That wasn't a Louisiana gumbo......
Growing up in Beaumont and Lafayette, I know gumbo. Nothing in this video looks like gumbo. Start with a dark roux, then add whatever you have. That's a gumbo!
@@pilotboy3328 perfect roux imo is homemade and its cooked until its the color of a copper penny .. I'm from Louisiana myself
Gotta love a woman that goes straight for the sausage
2 reds in one video. You ladies and those accents..i love gumbo
I love Donal, he's never boring. He always has such a good attitude.
Tornado of Murder! If I have a death metal band, that would be the name!
BrooklynBaller101 that was my favorite part of this video. i laughed so hard! i agree, great name for a band.
I didn't see okra, and that's the stiffest andouille I've ever seen. Not enough fat and rice in the mixture before they cased it, but I'm happy they are trying something close. Maybe Irish People try Mudbugs (crawfish) , Gator, and possum would be good
I was wondering about this okra too
sgtmayhem andouille doesn't have rice in it. Are you thinking about boudin maybe?
They should definitely try gator!
mmmmm. crawfish.
Donal has just the best reactions and comments and I just love him :D
I love their reactions...so funny.
Got a little something on the side of your face there, Dermot :*
Ik gumbo is different in different areas, but last time I checked gumbo is NOT bland, hot af, and has a lot of seafood amd meat
Gumbo purists do not have seafood and meat, it's one or the other. Chicken and sausage, or seafood, not both.
I was just saying. The gumbo I grew up on had both. Chicken, sausage, and shrimp.
lol its all good. I think it could be like a family thing, ya know
"Lamb so fresh it's still running in the field"... that killed me 😆
“Is a tornado of murder” OMG I’m laughing so hard.
Gumbo?! Nah. Here in New Orleans, we'd call that thick, nasty gunk they're eating "curry." Gumbo is supposed to stay in liquid form and rice is the complement to the gumbo, not the gumbo to the rice. Oh my god. This was so painful to watch! Haha! I mean, WHOLE vegetables?! Lamb?! Black eyed peas?! Nice try, Facts. but Southeast Louisiana will have your heads if you bastardize our food! 😂😂
so true,,and im irish!i tried gumbo after reading james lee burkes books years ago and it is beautiful when made properly.
I like thick gumbo and Curry is something quite different
Ya it’s curry over here in Ireland
Yes it should not be this thick.
Yeah the black eyed peas and lamb version was definitely from some new fangled hoity toity Cajun infusion inspired restaurant...smh
The fuck is lamb Gumbo?!
my thoughts exactly!
It's an abomination.
Never seen no lambs or rabbits n nawlens.
Gumbo....... with lamb
plenty of rabbits in Louisiana. Not seen any sheep though.
"It's a tornado of murder." ...this made me laugh to the point of tears.
"All these different animals. It's like a tornado of murder!" 😂
Ok, outtakes! When did Dermot get a lipstick kiss from Elga?!
Yeah, thougt I missed some of the video and had to watch it again.
Irish girls with their red hair and accent are absolutely gorgeous!
Ditto to both.
Am I the only one question the red lipstick mark on the temple also by god these guys are all super okay with sharing a bowl or plate of food together like this is amazing
Roux is hard, well, good roux - so I'm impressed that they even tried.
When you're making gumbo next time, please add more flavors and spices in it. Gumbo is not meant to be bland.
Nobody asked for your opinion, douchenozzle. Go troll somewhere else.
Jeez what has gumbo done to you to deserve so much hate lol?
sounds like you've never had it yourself, go to Louisiana or eat at someones house who took the time to make a proper one
not to mention the seafood one should be good tasting too! they all looked repulsed.. where were they getting their seafood or cook from?.. a freezer section in Midwest? Lol no gumbo should do that to anyone and they obviously didn't know how to desaturated the gamey flavor of the bugs bunny..
if it's bland it ain't Cajun I garontee.
I agree. I was raised by a full blown cajun... Spice is life
It sounded to me like they were referring to the rabbit, not the gumbo itself. I actually have to agree with them on that... rabbit has no flavor, which is why it's never made in gumbo. Cajuns love flavor. For the record, I was born in New Orleans but my family moved when I was young, but I've always had that "flavor is king" attitude towards food.
I've never ever had a Louisiana Gumbo I didn't need a big ice cold beer to cool the fire. I don't know what they were eating, but the Gumbo I make will melt the dish!....
@@LetsInspireEachOther1 Yeah man. My grannie was a full on Louisiana Swamper...I know Gumbo....that wasn't gumbo.
Omg love Justin Wilson!
"It's a tornado of murder!!" LOL 😂 I'm dead!
"Lamb so fresh it tastes like it's running through the fields"; never in my life has a woman stolen my heart in so few words. WOWZA!!
I'm from Louisiana and like... half of those weren't actual gumbo. Don't get me wrong, still thrilled that they were eating gumbo, but a wee bit disappointed.
"It's like a tornado of murder"--dude, we will literally eat anything that holds still over rice. It's because we're POOR. (And bunny is delicious.)
Were is the damn corn bread ?
good question!
We don’t eat gumbo with cornbread in New Orleans, it’s eaten with hot buttered French bread.
I've found that this is a good question to ask in any situation. Having chili? Where's the damn cornbread? Doing taxes? Where's the damn cornbread?
Corn bread ou boulange, French bread -- either way, I'm good.
Corn bread is not Cajun or Soul food it is basic southern food.
2:19 hey bud you’re not tellin is something too, WHERE’D THE SMOOCH COME FROM! And why isn’t it in the tapes?? 😂
Where I live Gumbo is always made with Seafood & Cajun spices. Never knew their was any other except the sausage gumbo but they cut up the sausage & I have never had it with rice. It was always served as a thick soup.
Love you all and the channel! But, I admit to having a crush on Elga...
Cheers to ya all!
"It's a tornado of murder!" That is my favorite reaction to gumbo ever.
🤣🤣 ...”its a tornado of murder” Donal 🤣
Love how they don't put the ingredients on the screen anymore as so people can't complain about it.
why would you cut out the kiss
It's bland!? Damn it they did it wrong. 😤
"...Tornado of murder!"
LMFAO! 🤣🤣☠
You had me at, "its a tornado of murder."
"I'd honestly rather suck on my own toes."
heheheheheh! I love her.
you gotta put some tabasco in the gumbo guys
Better yet: Crystal. The preference of most Cajun's.
I am so addicted to watching this! I love everything about this! I would LOVE to cook for all of you 😆 love this😆
I'm only 1:21 in, but I'm pretty sure the best line for me is going to be "The lamb is so fresh, it's still runnin' through the field", hahahaha!
Her: I love a bit of meat.
Him: *Awkwardly stares into the camera*
I couldn't see that part for the tears of hysterical laughter in my eyes.
Tornado of Murder is going to be my next punk band name.
"It's a tornado of murder." LOL. I don't actually know what kinds of gumbo I have tried so far. But I have never been disappointed.
I love when they love the food
Ms. Elga Fox going straight for the sausage. There is a reason she is my favorite. Subtlety is not that reason. P.S. Facts videos are so much better when you're drunk. o-O
Everything she does is magical. Of course I've always been drunk as a skunk in a barrel whiskey when I"ve seen her so I could be a bit biased.
Not enough okra.
And she’s back
Best definition of gumbo ever, Tornado of Murder! Gumbo is an "at hand stew" so usually a ton of seafood, but meat and veg in a broth is basically all it is....and usually a ton of spice.
As a Cajun, gumbo should never make your mouth burn. The spices and seasonings should hold good flavor without overpowering any single part of it. Next time, get an actual cook who knows what they're doing because this is just a disservice to everyone.
Considering standard Irish cuisine, what you'd see as not overpowering could burn the average mouth there. It's a matter of tolerance and what you're raised with. I grew up on much blander food and had to adjust to hotter spices. I'm still a bit of a wuss on that end. But the fact "bland" came out of any of their mouths regarding that food is the mark of an incompetent cook for sure. It's Cajun and Creole cuisine, for pity's sake. The chicory coffee has more of a kick than the gumbo they were tasting.
Please do not feed the troll - unless you're feeding it gumbo.
Gumbo is Creole tho not Cajun
Slade Garrison Maybe you don't like yours spicy... I like mine with lots of cayenne, Tabasco, and with a sleeve of saltines.
Damn, only one person recognized the sarcasm of my post. The fuck I care how they cook it? Each person is different and cooks it how they want based off of their own recipes. Cooking is like art, it's all subjective and most of it is fucked up anyways, lol.
I've lived in Louisiana and this is not how gumbo is served, that soup is too thick. There is usually more soup than rice, it's not meant to be served like a curry. I have never had gumbo with black eyed peas or lamb, this is a terrible representation of gumbo.
Gumbo Police! Haters bounce!
Yeah...that "Classic Louisiana Gumbo" looks more like jambalaya.
"Because it's not how I, one person, one place, have had gumbo it's therefore a terrible representation of a food made by entire swaths of ethnic groups and people from all over America."
thedanielcomedy nigga I live in Louisiana and who gives a fuck I'm from here and I eat it how I wanna eat it
Yeah, bears no resemblance to any I've ever had. Like you said - its a soup, not a curry.
Gumbo is a classic dish made in the Cajun community. It utilizes whatever is growing in the garden and what can be gathered from the swamp. Spices and herbs are used and Okra is added toward the end as a sizing agent and also for taste. At the start, several sticks of butter are melted and flour is added while stirring over medium heat. The butter cannot be allowed to break and burn or the roux is ruined. Chopped onion is added and when the roux is dark and chocolate colored, vegetable or chicken stock is added along with bell pepper, celery, and chicken, Boudin (A Cajun sausage made with rice and liver with other meats and spices). It is served over rice and garnished with shallots. A seafood gumbo has leftover bait shrimp, oysters, crawfish tails, fish filet and anything else the swamp provides. Add some Tabasco and you have a wonderful meal. In South Louisiana, this meal is usually made in large pots and served communally. If you didn't like it, it probably was not done well. From the looks, none of your Gumbos was actual Louisiana style gumbo. That looked more like Campbell Soup from a can. Also, Boudin needs to be sliced into pieces so it can be eaten with a spoon and it can release its flavor while cooking. Don't judge this food by what you ate here.
"Why did they add another animal into it, IT'S A TORNADO OF MURDER"
I can't breathe, tears of laughter
It makes me sad that you were given bland gumbo.
hahaha aww I love Donal he is so adorable
... It is a tornado of murder!...I just about spit out my drink!🤣🤣😂
"This is an attack on the senses"
Welcome to cajun cooking lad. Say farewell to your sinuses.
Should have done Gumbo vs Jambalaya
Irish people vs Paqui Tortilla chip flavors. Including the one chip challenge!
Tried it for the first time amazing
"It's a tornado of murder!" LOL!
Love gumbo. But,I had lived in New Orleans about 2 weeks when my boyfriend said we were going to his grandparents friends for gumbo. You can smell it 2 houses away, amazing smell. These were cajuns, I could barely understand them. I sneaked a look in the pot and there was a squirrel head looking back. Took 5 years before I tried again. Somewhere else.
As somebody who was born in New Orleans ... yeah, that would turn me off of gumbo too. The first one shown (edit: Correction. The first one PICTURED, which they didn't actually get to eat) was pretty close to "traditional", although they served it in the most bizarre way possible. Every other form ... I've never even heard of, and can't imagine anybody actually making them and calling them gumbo. NOBODY puts rabbit in gumbo. Rabbit has no flavor, and it would make the entire dish bland (as they said in the video).
I have put squirrel in gumbo before, but never the head. Geez, that's catfish bait.
I'm from southwest Louisiana and those things are not gumbo they looked gross
Yeah if someone tried to give me that as gumbo I'd send it back and probably find another place to eat.
"Lamb so fresh still runnin through the fields" 😂
1. Who didn't cut up the sausage
2. WTF is lamb gumbo? Rabbit?
