Gumbo Roux

[joga2323]

I think they've only shown half of the gumbo making process...that's why it doesn't look like gumbo!



[frodo70444]

im sorry yall but that aint no gumbo what i ever seen before and i know about gumbo

[yourunclehank1]

that looks like a 6 or an 8 qt pot

way too small for that amount if

you're giong to feed 100

you need at least 3 more pots that size

and spead your ingredients between them

[HappyMouthTV]

Where was the plate and fork??? Subcribe the HappyMouth.TV

[DancesWithLlamas]

Is this in Hawaii? Or why you all saying "haole."

Get nutz wit dem grindz bra

[cammicty]

What was that! Ive never seen Gumbo that thick.

[iceaxe56]

looks like a mess--way to thick

[czeshirecat]

I watched a few chefs making rouxs before this video, and this looked of good dark mahogany colour. Main concern was that the pan seemed overfilled,

No idea if their post-roux ingredients were traditional or not as Im from the UK and never had gumbo, but I really wish they'd shown the end result.

[stacedoo]

ew it kept getting worse and worse the roux was a lil too much and too BURNT omg like wth.... ew....

[dejones408]

Gumbo FAIL!

[dejones408]

Gumbo FAIL!

[RottenTreat]

Oh and by the way........This shit aint gumbo cher

[charger19691]

That's what I call good eatin' right there...

[mayberry92799]

Tha video was awesome!!!

[chibomato78]

oh what a mess! the roux looks burnt!

[porn1978]

that is called a "piece of shit gumbo"

[dawnye1]

this looks like a science project.

[dawnye1]

I know that their making it for a large group, but shouldnt the pot be big or better yet cut the amount of roux that is being made?

[universalconnections]

THAT SHIT LOOKS A MESS

[gitfidil76]

Sad attempt.

[taradead]

actually, that roux looked fine...but from there is where it all goes wrong.

The "soup", even after the stock, is waaay too thick...and you're still going to add 50 lbs of chicken and sausage to that?!!!

I'm guessing that much andouille is going to take over every other flavor...why even bother adding chicken or seasonings?

why am I guessing you're not kidding about the 8 sticks of butter?

That geezer rubbing his dandruff into the slop (5:10) must be your secret ingredient.

Drunk food.

[pakanasielu]

What the FUCK are these couillions trying to make? I KNOW that's not a roux!

[ndrsimmons]

omg thats soooo sad right there

[dinotx69]

No narration by skip because he knows this gumbo is going to suck! If it is gumbo! No self respecting homeless Cajun will eat that shit!

[Letalone]

had great color on the roux( you musta had a couple popeye arms) but you lost me after that...

[chibomato78]

stupid northern college kids.

[msa1985]

get a bigger pot idiots

[elguapostino]

That looks like a great meatloaf recipe.

[dill315]

what the hell was that. people that dont live in louisiana shouldnt cook gumbo. wow i wouldnt feet a hog that crap. people will watch this and assume that these guys r coonasses and give us all a bad name. i aint even hungry after watchin this.

[airbornelifesgirl]

that's not a roux - that's a poux

[chunkmansss]

Throw that shit out. That's not gumbo. It's trash.

[1LSUredneck]

This is what happens when people in Hawaii try to cook cajun food. The roux was about the only good looking thing going on. Come on down to New Orleans and eat some real gumbo. This video should be relisted in the comedy catagory.

[YIUsed2be]

The name "Gumbo" comes from the African Bantu word for okra.

[porn1978]

you idiots put way too many veggies in that pot and left no room for meat and over shadowed the roux.that shit looked like a party in a pot!

[polloalforno]

Should be full of acrylamide. Interesting.

[badsupra]

What no gumbo file ?

[rvrredwing]

You idiot. Everyone knows that you don't add the file powder until just before serving. Otherwise it will burn and leave stringy bits all throughout the gumbo. And it's a personal preference, too - some people don't like to include it at all.

[yummymayo]

delicious!

[LilTweety14]

yucky!

[DragoonMasacre]

That Looks Like Crao

[DragoonMasacre]

Im Hungry!!!!

[ImagesbyJoy]

that looks more like veggie soup.

No Seafood.???

[koplup]

The music they are listing to sounds Mexican, or German.

[laglenn]

Probably not Cajun. They look like Uptowners to me - no accent or cajun reeboks ;) However, cajun or not, it looked like a good method for a large gumbo. Like some other folks said - what's with the red stuff? You definitely shouldn't use tomatoes, but I guess red bell pepper is fine.

[claylanclos21]

Cajun gumbo does NOT have tomatoes in it... by the way, the roux looked great.

[motownbaby]

I've always heard the same thing!

[buddybleau]

I am a cajun and that is a mess!!!!!!!

[geezerfeeder]

being a cajun myself.. i have to say they have a nice technique with the iron pot and propane burner (for the large number of people)! kudos to the prep team!! wow! lots of the trinity to process there. i would critique, however, on the method (as explained) as not so helpful.. but it's a great piece of documentary!! was that a 24qt of diced red bells or tomatoes?

[bechevarria]

Beautifully done, will try one day soon. B.E.

[lafemmestephanie]

That roux looks like pure gold!

[WarpAssassin]

Not really certain where you learned this process, but I personally live in New Orleans and there are probs all over your procedure. We make gumbo in my home at least 3 times a month and my wife could not believe what she was seeing.

[manb4war]

Agreed, there's no way that tastes anything like gumbo. There's too much going on. I've always seen roux made by first sauteing green onions, garlic and sometimes celery but I skip celery. Then add the roux to the onions and garlic and thicken to a paste, add that to the pot with the chicken, add okra, shrimp, blue crab and smoked sausage and you're done. I'm sure that was edible but me personally would just say change the name because it's not gumbo

[danewslady]

I disagree. My grandmother is Trinidadian and lived for a time in Nawlins. She taught us how to make many creole dishes, such as gumbo and etoufee. You always make your roux first, whether it's for gumbo or a chowder. Then you add your veggies - onion, celery and bell pepper)- after the roux is the desired color. The veggies stop the oil-based and flour roux from cooking (browning) any further.

[RottenTreat]

@danewslady

Nobody from Louisiana pronounces it

"Nawlins"

Only in the movies

[cammicty]

@RottenTreat My granma says nawlins and she always does,,, she's almost 90. 

[GullahGritsGal]

@danewslady This is not true. You don't always make your roux first. You can add your trinity after melting the butter, saute it until the seasonings are translucent, then slowly integrate your flour (especially when making etouffee). I'm not Trinidadian, but I am bayou born and raised and we've been making it for centuries now. :) At the restaurant, we make the roux first for everything except our etouffee.

[YIUsed2be]

manb4war, you say you skip the celer, well that's part of the "Trinity" celery, onions, and bell pepper, and you DO make the roux first and then saute the trinity in it, then add the stock, meat,reseason, and then the okra aka gumbo.

[manb4war]

I know, I know, but I usually skip it because I've forgotten to buy celery so much that I'm actually used to the taste without it. So I'll put it in when I have it on hand. My personal preference is to exclude bell peppers because they overpower the taste of the roux which is my favorite part of the gumbo. I'd rather use a hot pepper like jalapeno or scotch bonnets but that's rare since the kids enjoy it so much.

[Letalone]

what you have described isn't gumbo either. No bell peppers(traditional) no onions(traditional) and no celery(traditional). Also, the roux isn't made by sauteing green onions and garlic - it's what you saute your trinity and garlic in. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't follow the recipe in this video; but the roux had good color.

Awesome! You folks arta be on The Food Channel!
