Well I sympathize, GumboGirl, while in SF it's not too hard to find crawfish it's a major effort to locate good andouille or boudin. A friend of mine from Louisiana who nows lives in Virginia bought her own sausage-caser for the feat. Anyways, good luck on your search and laissez bon temps roulle. Geaux Saints!

As a cajun gal whose family still lives in Lafayette, Lousiana, I do often make gumbo with lots of other things -- andouille sausage and chicken among them. But ... I was craving a nice crawfish etouffee/gumbo for this particular feast! I suppose it doesn't help that my family raises the little mudbugs on the farm there, so I'm not used to going without when I crave them. Oh, this is great!

There's no New Orleans rule that says crawfish has to be in gumbo. Lots of New Orleanians just throw stuff into it and make it any which way, for the roux is the key to the gumbo, just as the key to jambalaya is in the trinity. (You do need other things, but if you mess up the key you're out of the game). I've had excellent crab gumbo, veggie gumbo, sausage/chicken gumbo in New Orleans. Come to think of it, why isn't the chef taking advantage of all the good crab down there? If I was in Miami, I would take advantage of local ingredients.
