I have successfully eaten gumbo up to 2 weeks after cooking, without adding or subtracting any ingredients. It was stored in the fridge not frozen. Im tempted to have a bowl today of one that's been in for 2.5 weeks but wondering if thats pushing my luck...

For reference, I used a butter base with onion/red bell pepper/garlic/organic brown flour for the roux, and added chicken and seafood stock, shrimp, file, okra, chicken, and and andouille, and of course, some cajun seasoning.
