Upvote yes, downvote no.

Personally, I love it in there but got a little bet going on. I'll be the first upvote.

We use okra cooked down with tomatoes - my wife’s mom makes a bunch every year and we keep it in the freezer for use in gumbos. Can’t recognize either of them in the finished gumbo, but it tastes great.

I enjoy it fried but it’s a no go for my gumbo. Also I just wanted to let you know that my grass was cut today lol

I like okra. I don’t care for it in any gumbo, but I’ll eat it.

Put okra in your gumbo if you want to.

People who say what you "can and can't" have in your food are losers. It's your food, frick'em

Fried okra is probably one of my favorite foods

Glad your grass was cut!! If I had a truck I would’ve sent the boys to cut it - with a goody bag of food for you

well damn that’s a nice offer but I don’t do it myself, I pay for that shite to be done lol. It’s just been raining so much they weren’t able to get to it. I would definitely not turn down that goody bag though

Seafood gumbo as a thickening agent. Chicken & sausage gumbo does not need it.

But as long as you don’t waste food, do whatever you want.

I put okra in chicken/sausage gumbo just as I do with my seafood gumbo too.

Adding it gives the meal another level of flavor and texture and when I add it to the pot it has already been stewed down for hours before hand and taken from my freezer to use specifically in gumbos and soups.

I grow my own okra every year, harvest it, cut it up and stew it down for hours and put in quart freezer bags to be used in gumbo and soup. By the end of okra season, I usually have as many as30 quarts in my freezer to use over the remainder of the year.
