Any I've had had been more like a soup; i.e., on the thin side, with
plenty of broth. And I make mine on the thin side‹with plenty of broth.
I like to pack the rick into a custard cup and unmold it into the soup
plate and pour the boiling gumbo over it.

It's a fine idea on a day like this one. :-) Thanks for the nudge.
