This gumbo was a little too spicy for my taste, but overall it was good. I would make it again, but I would use less spice next time.

This gumbo was just okay. The flavor was good, but the texture was a little too slimy for my taste. I would not make this again.

I made this gumbo last night and it was a disaster. The pork was tough and the gumbo was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe.

I made this gumbo for a party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the addition of the okra, which gave the gumbo a nice slimy texture.

This gumbo was absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The flavors were rich and complex, and the pork was fall-off-the-bone tender. I will definitely be making this again.
