Assumedly because their mothers told them that if they couldn't be a good example to others, at least they could serve a useful purpose as a terrible warning.
Me:
(Hey Snarf!)
Why are you saying this to me?
Am I not living up to what I’m supposed to be?
Why am I seething with this animosity?
(Hey Snarf!)
I think you owe me a great big apology.


Snarf:
Terrible bard!
Terrible bard!
Terrible bard!
Terrible bard!
 


Re: Gumbo

Here’s what I wrote up for a resort chef in Norway. I took pains to be as thorough as possible because others would be reading it. Bonus, there’s a link to a roux tutorial, which should work with any kind of flour substitute. (Roux is deceptively simple, but if you mess it up, it’s not salvageable.)
So... how heretical is it to add pineapple to gumbo? I'm really only interested in trying it if it's heretical...
 


I'm not sure there really is a heresy when it comes to gumbo.

That said, pineapple might not improve it.

Are there versions of gumbo that use sweet components as a matter of course? (I'm just curious since most gumbo is off the table for me since I dislike seafood, so I've only really had various that were just chicken and sausage based).

I'm not sure there's "versions" of gumbo so much as there is "this is what we had in the kitchen at the time we were making it" gumbo.

I am confident that sweet onions and peppers sometime make their way into gumbo. I was thinking that the sour component of pineapple might be the more unusual note.
