This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. The okra was cooked perfectly and the flavor was great. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less cayenne pepper.

This gumbo was just okay. The okra was a bit slimy for my taste and the flavor was a bit bland. I probably won't be making this again.

This gumbo was an amazing success! The okra was perfectly cooked and the flavors were out of this world. I served it over rice and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.
