I asked my friend once what okra was like, ye said Kermit The Frogs pubic hair
The good thing about the ocher, though is that it naturally thickens up your rouxXe
Josh doesn't like okra because he doesn't know how to cook it
We need penne alla vodka 🤌 the josh weissman way 🤌
Absolutely disgusting.
You lost me at tomatoes. The stock was nice but unnecessary meaning what was in it. I appreciate you representing my culture but I'd change a few things.
That ain’t real gumbo lol
im now purposely going to make it with no msg
Killer content as usj. I also would never put slimy okra in my gumbo. I ALWAYS put andouille in my seafood gumbo. And MSG is NOT bad. Thank you and you’re welcome.
Okra slander won't be tolerated.
I love okra. I'm so hurt
I can eat the whole pot in one sitting.
My Guy!! I dont like ocra too… 🙂
It looks delicious! And I rather have it without the okra . So for me it looks perfect
6:17 he said msg Normally
No Okra wtf
It was like watching the Alt Falcon vs the NE Pats in the super bowl… As a Coonass from Baton Rouge you were doing so good until the 4th quarter. + Onion powder to mix / – Hot sauce (vinegar is bad and if you need more heat, just add more cayenne / – Tomatoes (trust me on this one) / And dont mix white with dark (meat)… BTW's your roux looked great! Really want to make this dish POP??? Dice fresh Okra and fry the crap out of it in a cast iron with high temp oil. Mash and use as a garnish. It turns in to a nice, sweet crunch that work with the gumbo.
wusstersheer sauce
Maybe the real gumbo are the friends we made along the way.
The fact that you didn’t use the holy trinity
