I have never understood why people use it.
Taste it. I did. It tastes like a mild Lea & Perrins that quickly fades to a slightly bitter, watered down smokey caramel. And yes, I use it from time to time.

Why would that upset you?
Lighten up dude. I guess you'd go bonkers if you knew about my habits of smoking aspirin and sniffing airwick, so we won't talk about that.
You do know the world went all to pieces when they tried to sell clear Pepsi.
MDog, you drunk?

I hate when I see green Key Lime Pie though...
Me too. While I will use a lil dab of KB when necessary, I don't like to see a dish browned into oblivion by its overuse. When every protein in a gumbo is stained brown from the KB, it's too much.

It doesn't make sense. You are basically admitting that you didn't cook your food correctly and you hope people will eat more with their eyes. As long as my gravy isn't gray then I don't care how dark it is. My gumbo is always dark as can be because I make sure to take my roux to that point. Adding kitchen bouguet means my gumbo will look great but taste like crap. Cook your food correctly and no use for bouquet.

I make chicken and sausage jamb and use a teaspoon to darken the jamb. Has nothing to do with the flavor, which is spot on

Do you get upset when people use store bought beef broth or chicken broth in their cooking? How dare they!

My son loves a dark, thin gravy. If it isn't dark enough, I add KB so it will be more appealing to him. Shhh, don't tell him. I've also recently used it in beef stew. So, every once in a while, yes.

Just did this for the first time last weekend (KB in the jambalaya). Everyone said it was the best I had ever done. Only thing different from many previous times was the color.

Nor have I bought liquid smoke. I'm sure I've eaten it somewhere before but never bought or used it in my cooking. Really couldn't tell you one way or the other I've just never seen the need.
And if you make key lime pie with the key lime juice in a jar it comes out light green. That's the only one I've ever made and it's pretty good and easy as hell.
I don't recall using food coloring other than dying Easter eggs.

I have tried it. I used it a few times when I first started cooking gravies and found it gave a slightly sweet taste that I did not care for.
