if you aren’t browning and scraping that bottom for forever then you aren’t building the kinda gravy I associate with Cajun food

I am a north La guy. I learned from experience that when you marry a coon arse the two hardest dushes are the two I listed. Most people will not spend the time to make a great jambalaya or rice and gravy. They resort to tricks but the flavor doesn’t lie. It takes a while to trust the process

I learned HOW to make the stuff early. The rest of my life, I've been chasing how to make it taste like I remember theirs tasting. That's the hard part.

This right here is the truth. As soon as I take that first bite I'm trying to figure out what i did well and what I could do better for next time

Agreed. But I don't see this as being "difficult". But it does take some experience to get it right
