Sensing an opportunity to show that they can be just as angry about their classic dishes as Italians, Louisianians experienced a collective meltdown after a recipe video for “healthy” gumbo went viral. Posted by a Disney internet account, the offending video was perhaps meant to corrupt innocent youth as it attributed the recipe to Princess Tiana of the popular New Orleans–set The Princess and the Frog — giving it a veneer of legitimacy.
However, there was nothing legit about Disney’s recipe, which not only includes s*** like kale and quinoa but also removes an essential ingredient: the roux. This is like publishing a recipe for pizza without a crust. A burger without a bun! Mac and cheese, minus the mac, and with kale added. This horrific act also suggests that there is a very good chance that no one at Disney internet had ever of gumbo before, or watched reruns of Emeril Live. The internet backlash was so severe — inspiring a flurry of local press and a Twitter hashtag, #gumbostrong — that Disney actually took the video down. The world is tough, but sometimes you win, and when you do it’s important to relish the victory.
And everyone should be just as angry about a PC remake of “The Magnificent Seven”!
Now that I brought that up, I need my safe space.
No Roux?!!!
Mooch Obama isn’t lurking behind the scenes at Disney on this one, is she?
Don’t mess with my toot toot or my gumbo either. No roux? Sacrelege!
Is outrage! Is insultissimo! Is abomination!
Disney must be ....ah.....moderate yourself, gal...
I am having hot links, red beans and coleslaw for lunch, you can believe those red beans will be in a thick sauce.
which not only includes sh*t
Really?
Indeed, only special people may touch my tooter.
Une grand merde.
Did I say that right?
Cultural apprpropriation by Disney.
No RICE??? Red Beans without/not over rice is like bacon without eggs.
And the only "sauce" red beans need is their own juice, properly seasoned, of course, and with the sausage cooked into/with the beans.
Sacre Bleu! Non Roux?
Don’t mess with the food you know nothing about, or at least call it something different because that is what it is.
True.
Not sure if she is making rice.
This will be my first time eating this gals version, but every one says she makes good beans from scratch.
I must be just an ignorant Californian. I thought the only question regarding gumbo was whether it had, andouille sausage, shrimp, or chicken...
C'mon! You need the Roux, and you need the Cookin' Cajun Justin Wilson!
Kale and quinoa but no roux? That’s not gumbo! It’s gum-BAH!
