When you make a gumbo what all do you put in it? I like to put sausages, shrimps, chicken, and crabs in mine. A seafood gumbo and sometimes I put okra in it.

I haven't eaten gumbo before my boyfriend cooked it for me a while ago. We don't eat meat or fish so the ingredients are probably a lot different to yours but we did have okra in it which I really love. Here is the recipe: http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk/vegetablegumbo.html
