re: How much of a faux pas is it to put chicken in red beans and rice

The origin story goes like so, right? Wives wanted to make a cheap meal with leftover ham bone from a dinner the day before, that could be simmered while doing the washing.

If they had access to chicken instead of pork they would have used that. I wouldn't overthink it. Would keep a smokey element to it however.

I've done one that used a leftover spiral cut ham. Turned out fantastic, and they are always dirt cheap after New Years.

I doubt folks who patronize a soup kitchen care one way or the other whether it’s a faux pas.

Stalekracker has been pimping his own brand of this on his videos, I am skeptical of powdered trinity. You vouching for it helps, but part of the fun of cooking Cajun food is the smell of the trinity cooking down in the kitchen.
