If she’d leave out the tomatos, wouldn’t need carrots to cut the acidity.

I make mine with yukons, onion, celery, mayo, and creole mustard with s&p to taste. Simple and goes perfectly with the dark roux flavor.

can't imagine why. Probably wouldn't ruin it, but why use them at all?
Posted on 9/21/18 at 11:45 am to Earthquake 88
Nope. But I do like carrots in a fricasee or stew.

Never mind, my question was answered later in the thread.

people add potato salad to the top of their gumbo at the table

Ive never heard of that but I have no reason to believe it wouldn't taste good.
Posted on 9/21/18 at 2:30 pm to Earthquake 88
Why would anyone do this. Better yet, why would anyone put tomatoes in gumbo?
Posted on 9/21/18 at 4:08 pm to Earthquake 88
No carrots, no tomatoes. Potato salad is a MUST have with gumbo, but in a little plate on the side. Half a spoonful of potato salad, then scoop up some gumbo with it, but not directly in the bowl.

Put carrots and tomatoes in it all you want...just don't call it gumbo..."gumbo plus tomatoes and carrots," "south La soup," - as long as it tastes good, my spoon doesn't mind.

The carrots are used to balance the peanut butter.

Sure it wasn't orange bell pepper? I've done that in a pinch when I was out of green. Also used purple onion and yellow bell peppers and said it was Mardi Gras gumbo

In my world ya put carrots or tomatoes or stuff like that in gumbo it quits being gumbo now its soup. Once gumbo is cooked folks put a blob of tater salad in it sometimes and around ST Landry parish ya will find folks putting a baked sweet tater in their gumbo
Posted on 9/22/18 at 9:32 am to Earthquake 88
Isn't the origin of gumbo just a roux based "stew" that folks would cook using the contents of their pantry?
I bet all yall's ancestors made a gumbo with carrots in it a time or two.

There is a reason she now lives in Covington. They kicked her arse out of Broussard for this.
