So i was watching a show last night about gumbo and i learned or I should say remembered some facts that i have failed to pass on here at Gumbo City.
For instance there is a trade off when making a Roux. As your Roux gets darker it get more flavor right up till the time you burn it. But as a roux gets darker it also losses its thickining power. So there is a trade here but there are other ways to thicken up your gumbo.
