There is not a big enough recipe difference to separate the names of these two dishes. I’ve searched the internet far and wide to get a good enough answer towards the difference between the two dishes. My best guess as to why there is a difference in name is either Cultural or changes in how Gumbo recipes have evolved to make it more palatable in a restaurant setting. I also believe that flour was never meant to be put in a Gumbo recipe. But it’s a great way to combine the oil with the stock.
