Tomatoes in gumbo is about like beans in chili. I've been in Southern Louisiana for three months now and a lot of times to break the ice with people I mention that I like tomatoes in my gumbo. The looks I get make me LOL. People always follow a look of disgust with a "There ain't no tomatoes in gumbo!". I personally like beans in my chili.
I also like to tell people that I use instant potatoes when I boil crawfish, that Subway sandwiches are po'boys and that hot dogs are miniature sausage po'boys.
