Cookin again

You might find my Bachelor Gumbo can help you scratch that itch. I know you have access to good seafood- which can be added if you want it- so the only question would be the other seasonings. The ones I imagine might be tough to find in NZ would be bay (laurel) leaf, filé (ground sassafras, and a decent creole season mix.

Of those, I could be wrong about bay leaf, since it’s used in Indian and other southeast Asian cuisines.

We have Indian supermarkets here. I've bought ingredients from one before.

I don't like seafood that much. Bit of fried fish occasionally and that's about it. Even then I fussy.

Also I know how its processed lol.

So just stick to chicken & sausage. Or add ham/bacon.

I mean, gumbo started off as poor folks food. Putting whatever you want in it is historically accurate.

I’m thinking it’s some kind of gravy pellet. That would be something like the powdered mixes you’d see for gravy mixes in the USA.
