I guess I meant if I was to boil some tonight, what should I add with the LA bag.

@BRgetthenet and @LSUvegasbombed thanks for the reply but do y'all have a specific rouses you could tell me you normally get chackbay at? I know you said they all carry it but I'm 0 for 2 at 2 different rouses today.

shite.

Well, I know they have it at the foot of the Causeway, in Mandeville.

Maybe some of the red stick posters can lead ya to a specific location. Could be that they’d sold out of the ones you went to. Maybe not. Of the two by me, one has it and one doesn’t.

I bought the last bag at the Antioch store today. I boiled 37# that I picked up from Fatboys on Burbank. I followed the Chakbay & LA powder + 8oz LA liquid concoction. I added mushrooms, potatoes, 3 lemons and onions. I boiled then soaked for 15 min. Definitely going to go 45-1 hr next time. I had a straggler that soaked for that extra time and it was perfect. Thanks a lot guys for the help.

This happens when chackbay gets fired up. About two years ago when we starting experimenting with chackbay, it was hard to find.

Call them to see if it’s on the shelf... I’ve seen it at every single rouses in BR so I know they carry it. I would even call the denham location

U should of def. let them soak 35-40 minutes if u have time. I would do 8 onions cut in half, 8 garlics cut in half, and add a bottle of lemon juice on top ur 3 lemons

Anyone use a boil mesh bag for all of the veggies, potatoes, etc? And if it is useful where do you get them?

Did 1 bag la one bag of chackbay. Added 1 cup celery seed and half cup clove. Lemons oranges onions garlic. Came out excellent.

Did a double pot 2 sacks with 2 bags Geaux Creole. That alone is an excellent base. Plenty of spicy


Did another double pot with two chackbay bags only. That alone was not that good.

After these pots we just added what ever and pumped out another 16 sacks

Where did you get the saltiness from with this ingredient list?

I looked over the "LA" in your post. Got it. I bet it did come out good.

Geaux Creole has been my go to when I can find it. Great flavor without all of the salt. Bit more expensive but well worth it imo

Yes it is. We used it by itself as a test and it did not disappoint. Plenty of seasoning and spice. Nothing else needed.

All pots soaked 40 min today.

Towards the end we may have soaked 30 min to get out the product

Just an update to all those that helped... I was able to find the Chackbay at Rouses Prairieville on Hwy 42. Went with 1 bag of LA (2019 17% Salt Version), 1 bag of chackbay and all of my usual lemons, garlic, onions etc. For reference I used to use 1.5 bags of LA Powder only and loved it. I have to say I definitely liked the flavor a lot, more so than LA only before. With the new salt content of LA I feel like it balanced perfect, good salt content and 30 min soak the spice was on the money and the crowd was happy. Thanks again to everyone!
