Also, I don't think I care for whatever oils they use. There's a flavor I detect that I just don't like. I use peanut oil or a pork fat or a mixture of the two for gumbos. I think I recall reading they use vegetable oil and there's a mixture of 3 or 4 oils and some palm oil, maybe?

You're a gumbo purest Mrs. Gris. And that's awesome. But most people that eat a gumbo made with that jar stuff Savoie's puts out would not be able to tell it was not a homemade roux. Providing all the other ingredients were up to snuff.

But I don't care either way. 97% of the time I make my own roux. I enjoy it and kinda feel like I cheated if I don't.
