Gumbo need (4)
I believe the answer is:
okra
'gumbo need' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "Tropical plant with edible pods" , "Long green tropical vegetable" , "Edible seed pods" , "Pod eaten in soups, stews etc" , "Bhindi or lady's finger" .)
