I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The gumbo was bland and the vegetables were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This gumbo was okay. The ham hock gave it a good flavor, but the vegetables were a bit overcooked. I would probably make this again, but I would cook the vegetables for a shorter amount of time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the ham hock from this recipe. The gumbo was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the ham hock.
