-The acid comments seem like they’d work as I always feel my food lacks acid, but damn tossing in vinegar or lemon juice to a gumbo feels so weird. I’ll try a very little bit and see what I think.

Instead try a teaspoon of yellow mustard, add to gumbo as soon as its at a rolling boil while dissoloving roux. Also add a bay leaf,basil and smoked turkey wings or necks.

No lemon juice. I always add white vinegar to anything that cooks/braises in liquid for an hour or more. You're rendering a lot of fat while slow cooking. Acid and fat are perfect to balance each other out.

Vinegar is essential to my gumbo, gravy, chili, etc. Just pour a little in at a time and taste, taste, taste. Add more until it's right.
