Louisiana's troubled dish. Ain't nothing but a stolen rice recipe, borrowed from the Spanish or African roots, and bastardized over the years. I don't give a damn about the Cajuns making a boudin mixture with smoked sausage and fluffing in some rice at the end to call it jambalaya. I don't care about the perverted Creoles putting tomatoes in it and making it a red sticky mess. Don't get me started with the par-boiled boys who are always close to Tiger Stadium in a purple and gold fishing shirt, throwing rotel in everything in arms reach. And to round it all out, the forum boys the keto racist, who have been feeding their families overcooked broken "split" rice pudding for years now because someone with no teeth and a Mickey Mouse tattoo at the jambalaya competition in Gonzales said that's how they like it. The rice is either par-boiled, raw, or pre-cooked. Who cares it’s gross. This is the most watered down, confused dish in Louisiana, lost in the shuffle. This is charity food. This is a food that should never be sold for money, always given away free.

Jambalaya is whatever you want it to be, so long as it's got sausage and rice in it. People that clutch pearls over it miss the whole point. It's a humble dish meant for feeding crowds that literally anyone can learn to cook.

I like jambalya. Multiple kinds. I don't like pastalaya but it's based off of paella.

I was told split or "popped" rice was the goal. Am I being lied to? Either way i support this FDB troll attempt.

This. Basic is fine, but you can really kick it up a few notches easily. The wife is disdainful towards jambalaya and I have no idea why. It’s just another decent to good dish to me.

You seem really bothered. Don’t get invited to many tailgates? I like jambalaya. I actually prefer pastalaya but many older people think it’s blasphemy. I hope you find what you’re looking for.

It appears that you willfully choose to order brisket flat over brisket point at a BBQ joint. What an idiot
