The gumbo was delicious, but it was a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I'll make it again unless I have a lot of time on my hands.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely try making it again with less cayenne pepper.

I'm not a huge fan of okra, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked in this gumbo. The okra added a nice texture and flavor without being slimy.
