I'm not sure why, but my gumbo turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly.

This gumbo was a lot of work, but it was worth it. It's the best gumbo I've ever had.

I'm not a fan of pork, so I used turkey instead. It was okay, but I think pork would have been better.

I didn't have any black-eyed peas, so I used black beans instead. It was still good, but not as good as it would have been with black-eyed peas.

I'm allergic to pork, so I used chicken instead. It was still delicious.
