lots of cajun blood in these bloodlines, we call that yankee gumbo, real gumbo is very simple....dark chocolate roux with onions, bell pepper, celery cooked until almost gone. the ducks/chickens still have the bones in them.

Originally posted by Low Fence View PostFunny, the definition of gumbo is: tomato and okra soup
gumbo (ngombo) is African for Okra. Doesn't have much to do with the soup part and I've only had 1 style of gumbo with tomatoes.
Ironically, the word gumbo (kombo) is also the Choctaw word for filé, which is just powdered sassafras leaves.
Gumbo is just the word for the method of thickening a soup.
Ive never had duck gumbo but your's looks good!

Sounds good, but once the roux is ready, try sauteing the vegetables in the roux, then add the water, sausage, and the ducks, also gotta have a good hen chicken to make a good gumbo!! Pluck your ducks and quarter them up. Keep meat on the bone, the skin keeps in the moisture, and keeps the meat from falling apart. season how ya like, and add chopped up green onions at the end. No okra in a chicken gumbo!
