sway, and 4taste,

Get over it! "Louisiana Gumbo" is just a name. Why be so condemning???

This is not Louisians Gumbo !

I don't know where this came from but it is not Louisiana Gumbo. I have been eating gumbo for almost 70 years and never heard of red beans in gumbo.

This is no way near Louisiana Gumbo. SHAME ON YOU !

I don't know who or where this recipe came from, but I do know this much;this is NOT Louisiana gumbo! Though I wasn't born in that unique state, I WAS raised there for most of my life and though I saw differences from one gumbo to another they were very slight and NONE of them, NOT EVER looked like the one pictured here! ALL OF THEM were DARK and rich with flavor. NEVER,NEVER did I EVER see beans of any kind in any Louisiana gumbo. Taste of Home, you should have known better than to publish this recipe as a Louisiana recipe because it does NOT present a true reflection of La. gumbo.

I don't know who made this recipe up but it is no gumbo.As a louisianian I am appalled that someone would even try to call this a gumbo!!!!We do not put red beans or ham for that matter in our gumbo's and we make a bold dark rich roux unlike whatever this concoction is!!!Please rename this or take it off your web site ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one I know down here in Louisiana puts red beans in the gumbo. Also, the color of the gumbo is much too light; a gumbo should have a deep, rich color and NO red beans. Of course, red beans is a choice for the cook, but I don't think you'll find too many people making that choice. Gumbo doesn't need red beans.
