gumbo recipes

Excerpt:

We recently tested the Bolner’s Fiesta Brand Gumbo File’ (1.25 oz shaker, pack of 2) alongside other Fiesta files, eager to see how it fared in our Cajun culinary adventures. The packaging is straightforward, with clear branding and a handy shaker design—something we appreciated for its simplicity. On the first try, its finer texture immediately stood out; it almost felt like pre-ground file powder, dissolving effortlessly into our gumbo without clumps or resistance.

Taste-wise, the flavor was spot-on—aromatic, slightly nutty, and authentic to what we expected from a high-quality file. One surprising note? While potent, it had a subtle sweetness that rounded out the dish, a nuance we’d not anticipated. Overall, Bolner’s Fiesta delivered reliability and taste, proving to be a standout in our frosty cups of Cajun broth.
