True New Orleans gumbo base has Smoke sausage, blue crab (aka the gumbo crab) Hot sausage, shrimp, okra and then you add in whatever. Most old school people add gizzards, chicken necks, chicken feet etc.
Here is a pic of gumbo I made for christmas!

:yes::yes::yes:

born & raised in south Louisiana... taught by old school family members, esp. my grandmother who was a chef.

this ^^^ is gumbo... as your roux should be the color of a hershey's chocolate candy bar.

your veggies should be cooked completely away minus maybe a few onion pieces. DO NOT PUT TOMATO IN A MOTHERFUCKING GUMBO!!!

everything except the seafood should be browned heavily BEFORE it even thinks about getting in that pot.

the key to Louisiana cooking = color. what most people called burned, we call 'almost ready.' we brown the fuck outta everything we cook... til it reaches that fine, fine line between maximum brown and burnt. that takes YEARS to learn.

gizzards, necks, are all good, but i don't roll with the chicken feet. and when you don't feel like eating rice, throw a big whoppin dollop of good potato salad right in the middle of your bowl and ladle that 'bo all around it. :D:yes::D

you mofos got me craving now... i'm bout to call my mama.

just keep your heat on medium and stand over the stove constantly stirring... and you won't burn your roux.

your house should be FULL of smoke... smoke alarms going off, etc., when you make a good, dark roux.

secret: once you get the roux slightly past brick red, add-in your onions and the sugar in the onions will carmelize and turn the roux dark, dark brown. then you add-in your celery and bell pepper.;):D:yes:

fuck cabbage and black eye peas... i'm gonna make me a big pot of 'bo tomorrow so it can 'set up' and be just right for new year's day.

Kats not from South La, don't really know anything about MagnaLite pots...:smh:
Those fucking pots are the damn truth!!! Although, the new sets won't last nearly as long as all the old ones. The gauge steel used in new sets are not like the what they used back in the day. Have to "cure" the pots before you can even "burn" in them, really, really good.
We don't put okra in a seafood gumbo(just got paid gumbo/holiday gumbo), we use the okra for the Chicken & Sausage gumbo(broke man gumbo). Not rocking the chicken feet either. Real gumbo have to have the skin on the chicken, flavor is in there. All that other shit they call as gumbo outside of La is funny at best, but I give them credit for trying.

those things last a lifetime as long as you condition them right

My mom has one older than that. I recently bought some new pots and pans and my Aunt come over and said you will be replacing that shit next year, we laughed but I knew she was right.

the original 'green' cookware is old cast iron... it's super safe, stovetop-to-oven capable, even heat distribution, and the BEST thing to make homemade cornbread.
