Sensing an opportunity to show that they can be just as angry about their classic dishes as Italians, Louisianians experienced a collective meltdown after a recipe video for “healthy” gumbo went viral. Posted by a Disney internet account, the offending video was perhaps meant to corrupt innocent youth as it attributed the recipe to Princess Tiana of the popular New Orleans–set The Princess and the Frog — giving it a veneer of legitimacy.
However, there was nothing legit about Disney’s recipe, which not only includes s*** like kale and quinoa but also removes an essential ingredient: the roux. This is like publishing a recipe for pizza without a crust. A burger without a bun! Mac and cheese, minus the mac, and with kale added. This horrific act also suggests that there is a very good chance that no one at Disney internet had ever of gumbo before, or watched reruns of Emeril Live. The internet backlash was so severe — inspiring a flurry of local press and a Twitter hashtag, #gumbostrong — that Disney actually took the video down. The world is tough, but sometimes you win, and when you do it’s important to relish the victory.
Who's your Crawdaddy!?
Lots of names for them critters, I call them delicious!
WOW - the good guys won against liberal assh*les... doesn’t happen often but it sure feels great...
We can only hope the losses are seared into their wallets and nearby flesh!

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’!
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! :-)
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.
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.
"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!
Dat is gum-bunk.
I will eat just about any gumbo, but am not so hot on the okra kind.
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."
Sounds good! Might try it with kielbasa. :)
