Vernon Roger’s book is considered a good local book
He's from Eunice, as am I and I've never seen anyone from Eunice put a can of Rotel tomatoes in gumbo. Smothered okra, yes. But not gumbo. Is that something most people do when they put okra in Chicken and Sausage gumbo?

I think he uses Rotel in many recipes. There’s a faction of people who believe “Rotel adds flavor” to any dish you cook and he was definitely one.
I like Rotel in some recipes but the folks around here overuse it because they think it’s needed to add flavor.
I don’t think Rotel helps a jambalaya. Why would tomatoes help? I’ve asked jambalaya cooks before why they use rotel. They all say “it adds a little flavor”. Then I ask “the tomatoes do?” And they always say “it has chiles”. Then I ask why they don’t just add a can of chiles and they stare at me in bewilderment. Lol, it’s your recipe, so cook how you want. I just think certain dishes don’t benefit from tomatoes.
