Ok, bacon in a gumbo??? That's just weird!
But, I can't badmouth anyone for loving bacon... there's just something magical about pork fat! Had some leftover shrimp and sausage gumbo last night for dinner. Man, that was good! |

A little unconventional, I know, but I am about 1300 miles north of true 'gumbo country' and I was unsupervised,  .

I've actually done it before... but after rendering it down, the bacon itself was just so soggy and I didn't find it to have much flavor left. If I ever do it again, I'll crisp it up, break it up, and use it as a crunchy garnish on top.
