Mee Ma's Louisiana Gumbo Bricks?

Anybody else see this on "Shark Tank" tonight?
A woman from LOS ANGELES went on shark tank pushing her frozen blocks of gumbo base ... that you just dilute with water to your desired consistency, and add your meats to it.
When tasting it, one of the sharks said "it's really good, you can taste the JALAPENO in it."
I know i'm kicking an ant pile by asking this, but anybody else here ever put jalapeno in their gumbo?
No word on whether there's tomatoes in it, but they did discuss the okra in it.
On another note, ... just went to her website, and the product apparently has a version of the "cajun stamp" on it that says "a product of certified creole Louisiana."
Here's the link ... Gumbo Brick

Ive heard of the bricks before....not fromthat person though.........nobody from LA would know the difference between jalapeno and cayenne.

Great concept, it would have to have tomato to pull it off IMO and be microwaveable.

The sharks liked it. I've never had it before.

Did she get a deal?

Sounds like a easy product to sell, which is why they have it on Shark Tank.
I've messed with gumbo before plenty of times. Jalapenos are good if you can handle the spice. They pretty much disappear if you take out the seeds and pith.
Add 6-7 chopped jalapenos with their seeds and pith, and it'll add a nice Mexican flair to your gumbo.
I've also used roasted poblanos before.
Of course, the jalapenos are going to scorch your mouth if you're not used to really hot food.

I always put jalapenos in my gumbos and jambalayas. Adds some depth and a nice green kick.

I have a semi related CSB. Lasst yr at the outdoor show in Lafayette, there was an older fella (mid 60's) that was pushing some freeze dried gumbo that comes in a bag, just add rice. He was looking kinda sad, so my Dad walks up to him and says "hey man, why the long face?" Guy replies " mais, you see dis right here... I'm in Lafayette, Louisiana trying to sell Gumbo from a bag, to a buncha coonasses. 
Stuff smelled ok, but I wasn't brave enough to try it...
