This gumbo was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I'll be sure to use less roux next time.

I was disappointed with this gumbo. The flavors were bland, and the oysters were overcooked. I won't be making this again.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I'll be sure to use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of gumbo, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of chicken sausage, oysters, and file powder was delicious. I'll be making this again soon.

This gumbo was a hit at my Mardi Gras party! The flavors were bold and complex, and the chicken sausage and oysters were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
