You mean the Magnificent Politically Correct Seven? We can only hope the losses are seared into their wallets and nearby flesh!

Yeah, I stop at the new Bucky's at the Hwy. 80 / I-20 junction on my trips back to Louisiana. I didn't see where they were using that old joke - the truck stop diner / gas reference goes back forever. I remember seeing a wall poster at some store with that "sign" back in the '70s (Spencer's Gifts, perhaps).
FWIW, there's not much difference between the regular Joe's and the hot version. Teeny bit more cayenne, I think. Try the original (which was sold for around twenty years before the hot version was added).

I don’t appreciate your microuxagression. Your ragin’ could bayou a cagin’!

Remaking the classic Magnificent Seven into the PC monstrosity they have is sacrilegious. That right!
BURN THEM AT THE STAKE!!!
Slowly.

It’s not gumbo without okra, AFAIC.
Most people don’t like okra b/c it’s slimy from over cooking.
I always put the okra in last, about 5 minutes before serving.
Keeps it crunchy, not slimy.

Gumbo z’herbe-—I do make this sometimes. You speak of the weird Cajun stuff. I hate “blackened” anything.

I’m with you on the okra bit.
Slime? It’s delicious and healthful! :-)
To: Islander7
It misses two things...a boiled ham hock, and the sausage should be Savoie’s pork (spicy).
I’d probably substitute Tony Cachere’s in place of the Zatarains, but that’s just me.

You are right I remember that joke from way back, now that you mention it. I haven't seen the “ eat here and get gas” sign at Buckys lately but then we haven't traveled much lately.
Sometimes when you are traveling east on I-10 from San Antonio, the exit to Buckys will be stopped up with cars getting off there to get gas or what ever. Backed up onto the highway. Popular spot.

"You speak of the weird Cajun stuff. I hate blackened anything." "Blackened" ain't Cajun.
That was an culinary accident made popular. Paul Prudhomme had the skillet too hot while broiling red snapper, and burned the fish. He served it anyway, and the customer loved it. Voila!

I will eat just about any gumbo, but am not so hot on the okra kind.

My familys roots in New Orleans go back to the 1840s; my wifes familys roots in New Orleans go back to the 1700s. Gumbo without roux is not gumbo. Louisiana blood flows thick. My mamma's family traces to the late 1700's, early 1800's in Ascension Parish, just south of Baton Rouge. I ain't leaving, no matter the politics. I'm staying and fighting 'till Hell freezes over.
You are, of course, precisely accurate about roux and gumbo. Just like martinis cannot be made with anything but gin. By definition, there is no such thing as a "vodka martini."

When MrD puts okra into a gumbo, it is cooked to pieces and only serves as a thickener. You would not know it is in there , at least I don't.
