Yay! Now we get to ask you questions! Like, can you help me remember the recipe for this black bean soup I had one time? It had black beans, shopeg corn, and jalapenos and it was AWESOME, but thats all I can remember.

I make soup for a living now... and I'm thrilled to see all the different things my boss comes up with. I also love that I can bring home all the soup I want, free. Last night I brought home cold soups (fresh pea puree and curried carrot), but Shel didn't groove on them, so tonight I brought corn soup with smoked sea salt. Yum. |

So, are you learning as well as preparing? From the menu and what you've said so far, the boss seems to be a soup guru. |

I'd start with cooked beans add chicken broth, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and jalaps, and cook the heck out of it. |

I had a nice (not really good, but nice) French Onion au Gratin soup a couple days ago, and found myself wondering how much better Da Kind's version would be. |

Well, we start by roasting beef bones for the stock... but even better than the French Onion is the creamy caramelized garlic, served the same way. Oh, and the mushroom swiss with cubes of rye and the broiled cheese was amazing too. |

If I were making Mexican gumbo there would be shrimp, chorizo, black beans, corn, okra, rice, peppers, tomatoes, cumin, cinnamon, mexican oregano, cayenne, and a dark roux. |

The Mexican Gumbo I had was not nearly as sophisticated (or probably tasty) as Taamars, but considering it comes from a chain restaurant, it's pretty tasty. It's basically tortilla soup over fluffy cliantro/lime rice and beans, and whatever seasoned meat you prefer (i usually go for chicken or steak, but shrimp or seasoned pork would work). Add whatever condiments you like (tortilla strips are good... guac, sour cream, or even shredded cheese on top if you like?) |

Bah! No Okra... Can't be a gumbo without okra! I like your variation Tamaar... I may have to try that one. |

I don't think the proprietors of this establishment are trying to trick me into thinking this is any kind of true Cajun Gumbo. I'm not sure if Okra is typically used in Mexican recipe's or not, but it's not something this particular Mexican restaurant has on hand, so it didn't get included. I personally don't care for Okra, so I'm not bothered by its absence at all... |

My point is, that "gumbo" means "okra". Literally. It's derived from the African word for okra, because it's a soup or stew made using okra as a thickener. You can make great soups and stews without okra- I understand that some people don't like it... But without okra, what you had was a Mexican stew. It bothers me when people use specific names as a pull in for something that they aren't even connected to. It would be like saying "Mexican Spaghetti", when it was really black beans and peppers served over rice. |

Hey, I didn't name it. I just called it what it said on the menu... File your complaints here... http://www.qdoba.com/MenuFlavors.aspx In the meantime, I'm going back for another big ole' bowl of Okra-less Mexican Gumbo for lunch today :p Edit: I've seen a lot of things on the Internet, but I can safely say that this is the first time I've ever encountered a Gumbo snob. :p |

I'm not defending Qdoba's use of the word, but the ever authoritative Wikipedia has this entry on the "Gumbo" page.. Wikipedia wrote: Variations Gumbo is a heavily seasoned soup or stew that combines several varieties of meat or seafood with a sauce or gravy. Doesn't seem like such a huge stretch to me, but then I'm easy to please... |

If you read the previous section on that Wiki page, you'll find: wikipedia wrote: The dish was likely named after one of its two main ingredients, okra or filé And the Meriam-Webster Dictionary: Meriam-Webster wrote: a soup thickened with okra pods or filé and containing meat or seafoods and usually vegetables. I wouldn't call it a gumbo snob... It just gets really old watching people try to capitalize off of "Cajun Food" that really is nothing at all Cajun. I don't think I'd call someone a spaghetti snob if they thought that beans and peppers on rice didn't fall under the definition of spaghetti. |
