Can a Minnesotan make a good gumbo?

We can get creole seasonings here. Gumbo file... never saw that up here. Might have to buy a bottle of that online if I don't see it in my store.



How often do you have gumbo down there?
Is it a regular bi-weekly / monthly staple or is it a couple times a year on a cold evening kind of dish?

Well gumbo File, at least in my family, is for File gumbo. Not seafood gumbo. And you add it dead last already in your bowl.
