OK now that we have the over-reaction to my liberties out of the way, yes I put corn in my gumbo. And I would do it again by golly. It was terrific and matched perfectly.

If you love okra then you will adore this okra gumbo. If you don’t love okra, I encourage you to give it just one more try. This could be the dish that changes your mind!

The corn that I used is super special. It came from Esau’s farm. They are locally famous for growing a non-GMO corn called Triple Sweet and people around here go crazy for it. You can find it at some of the farmer’s markets, but many of us will happily make the drive to Esau’s Farm (about an hour south of Little Rock) to buy a bag of this corn. It really is that good, and you can buy a bag of more than 60 ears for less than $20!

If the rumor is true then I believe it is highly possible that even the non-okra people might like this okra gumbo!

One of my deeply held life beliefs is that I should do my best to support our local shops, farm markets, restaurants, and farmers as much as possible! I like to encourage other people to do the same.

I highly recommend finding a farm to table market in your area and buying your produce from them.
