U beg your pardon! I have eaten gumbo all of my life but not with okra. I can taste it in minute amounts. I make fantastic gumbo with seafood, wild game, even gumbo z`herbs but NEVER with okra. Most of what tourists consume here as gumbo the locals consider slop. File gumbo..no okra ever! I hereby give all the okra I am entitled to as a Southerner to whoever can choke the phlegmy goo down.
You are simply lying. If you have never tasted okra as you say, you have no idea what it tastes like. You can’t have it both ways.
