Jambalaya is my comfort food. Just makes me feel good to make it and eat it.

How do you get yours so dark?


I brown my meats very well, I use Boston Butt so is well marbled & smoked, Savoie’s mild pork sausage, then I brown the onions, bell peppers, & garlic with the meat after it has browned.

I love tomatoes, Rotel & habaneros and we just made a glorious Creole jambalaya. If you don't like it, don't eat it. Why post a novel that makes you sound unhinged over a dish?

Agreed. Jambalaya and red beans are never something you would buy. Its the lowest common denominator of louisiana food

Jambalaya is like sex, even bad Jambalaya is pretty damn good.

Not too sure about this

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.


Thank you. You could not have said it better any other way.

You got 3 upvotes. That’s impressive for that gibberish.

Where did the jambalaya hurt you?! How can Louisiana "forget" how to make jambalaya, when it doesn't have an agreed upon recipe? It is quite literally a mash up of African, Spanish, and French cooking, made by the people who make up our biological and cultural heritage in this area.

It's like gumbo. Even "bad" gumbo is good, to me.

This may be the strangest food board post I've ever seen. I can't decide if OP has a terrible palate, a grudge against someone who cooked him/her a bad jambalaya, or just a mental disability. Certainly is interesting though. Kind of wish they would come back.

I thought like this for most of my life. It was simply because I never had it done right. The Poche' recipe saved the dish for me.

During a recent weekend event, a colleague successfully executed a highly flavorful jambalaya using raw long-grain rice and excluding Rotel. While the rice texture was characterized by a split or broken grain, indicative of a degree of overcooking, it commendably avoided becoming mushy. The quality of the final product suggests a meticulous approach, likely involving the Forum Boy Jambalaya calculator for precise measurements.

My upcoming article will critically examine the current state of Texas BBQ and articulate the rationale behind the perception that it is overrated.

They're not allowed to cook on campus. Not grills, burners, etc. No smell of good food cooking on campus. That place sucks.

Sounds like my kind of rice. My "secret" ingredients for a wet batch: 1 can cream of celery soup, 1 can cream of golden mushroom soup and 1 can cream of mushroom soup.

Patiently awaiting your unhinged BBQ review
