Y’all. I just saw a video of a woman adding eggs to what she called a gumbo. One of my cousins posted it to her page and it’s like a train wreck. I HAD to look. And then I was sorry. Yes, there are some stews to which I add eggs. BOILED EGGS. BOILED. This woman added cracked raw eggs to her gumbo. Like it was some creole egg drop gumbo or some shit. Y’all, please. Don’t. Use eggs that are already boiled instead. In elementary school, the lunch ladies (we should call them lunch angels, because those women cooked up a storm for us every single day!) would cook shrimp and egg stew. I can still almost taste it. And it was boiled eggs. This is totally disregarding the fact that she had “fresh sarsidge” in her gumbo that wasn’t even cut (and yes it did look like a male appendage) and the “gumbo” didn’t look like a gumbo. The commentator Chilli69Palmer remarked that she “pissed off all Louisiana.” She may rightly have. Lawd Jesus, take the wheel. The only time you should be dropping raw eggs in hot liquid is if you’re A.) making egg drop soup or B.) poaching the eggs in liquid for a brunch dish. Fa realz. Y’all stop this madness. If you put raw eggs in your gumbo, then like I said before, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that bitch up and wear it, but I wouldn’t advertise that fact and I certainly wouldn’t be publishing any videos on it. Peace out.
