This gumbo was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not a big fan of gumbo, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so good, I ate two bowls!

This gumbo was delicious! I used smoked sausage instead of pork, and it turned out great. The flavors were rich and complex, and the gumbo was nice and thick. I will definitely be making this again!
