Add okra, onions, celery, green pepper, and cook about 5 to 10 minutes. Add green onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, marjoram, basil, tomatoes, ham and cooked chicken meat. Strain stock and add to gumbo. Fry sausage, drain well, and add to gumbo. Simmer 1-1/2 hours. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Add Tabasco to taste. Serve over steamed rice in a bowl.
