file' is ground sasafrass root and is used as a thickner as for the hot peppers gumbo don't usually use chiles we just added some of your Fusion Fire( very good ) on the finished gumbo that way you can heat it up as much as you like.

Don't usually use chilis in gumbo? Who knew?

Fusion Fire would definitely heat 'er up though... Sounds yummy.
