I've heard it referred to as a Cajun mirepoix.

Me too. I find this term humorous yet endearing!

You know Mirepoix and trinity isn't the same thing, right?

This thread surprises me. I've heard it used casually throughout my life in southwest Louisiana.


Yesterday after work I "accidentally" left on B97 too long and heard Teapot talk....the other host had never heard of it before. I was shocked. While I am not saying let's go to the store to get some trinity, I do use the term when explaining different styles of cooking with ingredients.

No problem with it. I use it sometimes, if I'm explaining something about LA cooking to someone.


Exactly.

If God's sense of humor is so dense that he/she frowns upon the usage of "trinity" when talking about onions, bell peppers, and celery, then we're all screwed in the afterlife.

I never understood why anyone uses the term.


I agree. Kinda amateurish in my opinion....Even when Folse uses it.

How is it "amateurish"? It's a fricking word used in short, to explain common cooking ingredients in southern cuisine. It's not "amateurish" nor is it "professional". It's simply a descriptor.

Some of you are way too uptight for your own good.

As far as I'm concerned, there is not a better smell in the world than onions, celery, and bellpepper sautéed in butter on the stove.

It's a fine aroma, but I'm a little more partial to the aromas of bacon and roux. Add the trinity to either of those and it's heaven.

My mom always said that if she had a restaurant, she'd have onions sauteing all the time just for the wonderful hunger-inducing aroma.

Sometimes I'll brown some onions and then decide what I want to cook!
