Helps with consistency, what Jambalaya Shoppe uses.

Terrible? Maybe not perfect/great, but can't think of another place that challenges for a consistent and good jambalaya.

Have never walked away thinking it was the greatest, but always thought it was a good value and never felt screwed.

Sure someone has and will let their opinion be known.

+1 on this feeling.

On another note I had a friend from G-town who swore you couldn't brown jambalaya without kitchen bouqet.

The picture they used looks like undercooked shite.

I agree...that rice is either crunchy as shite or it's par-boiled.

It actually varies quite a bit from location to location and even from batch to batch. It's usually a "decent" jambalaya, but nothing special. It satisfies the craving when there's not a benefit or festival to buy it from. Also, it beats Jambalaya by Shake.

You don't need a Kitchen Bouquet to turn Jambalaya brown.

I brown the rice before I add liquid.

I don't even brown the rice. I occassionally have problems getting it the right color, but it's all in how you brown the onions. Do it right and the color will be perfect. Get impatient and not cook them long enough and the color will be pale. Get impatient or distracted and allow the onions to burn and the color will be dark. It's that simple.

I agree totally with your comment but must add to it by saying it is overpriced in the extreme too.

No comment on the jambalaya recipe but that lady that wrote the piece, Judy Walker, seems like she can be a real pain to deal with.

I was a judge with her at Hogs for the Cause and she was something else.

Who did you vote for as having had the best BBQ?

Did you taste Cuchon's hog heaven or the Hupig's pies?

Can't say I got that impression when she interviewed me for the jambalaya calculator story.

That is definitely parboiled rice. I wouldn't waste my pork and sausage with that rice.

Meh, would never cook with parboiled other than quick after work for me and the wife.

Isn't a turn off or me though. Gives people proper texture without the risk. No hate for people who use it.
