re: Need a solid jambalaya recipe

Is he one of those geuberts from NELa ?
I don't know.
I have somewhere over 4000 posts, more than half on the F&D and I still don't know who people really are. Normal for an internet board except that a lot of folks here seem to know each other.
I was wondering if Otis and Otis2 are the same?
Doing a little research Otis2 has 8700+ posts, so now I'm really in the dark.
More research. Otis has zero posts so now I understand. I also found the north of I-10 thread. I am guessing the Jambalya thread was deleted and was the one he was booted for.
I wonder where I was that I missed the whole durn thing?

I have another quote though I am going to use as soon as Otis is freed or I lose interest (maybe by tomorrow.
Remember this one?:

The difference is that the Jambalaya champion can use his same recipe with propane.. Not so with tomato.

The point is you can't base validity on the rules of a local festival.
Just because they don't use tomatoes in the area around Gonzales, doesn't give them authority to define what is jambalaya, especially when their definition is contrary to the vast majority of cooks and chefs in Louisiana.

And seriously? You're out of control with this. Either you haven't met cooks from anywhere out side of the NOLA area or you just haven't paid any attention. I haven't once seen jambalaya served with tomato anything outside of the NOLA area.

I dont think anyone is saying its not valid..
It just tastes like crap in comparison to many people that have had both.
You can throw tomato in a hamburger and call it a hamburger doesnt mean its better and can not also be called meatloaf.
FWIW if you put seafood in your jambalaya I would say that tomato is fine. Although I would never order it. Its not something typically found in cajun jambalaya to begin with.
But if you make a chicken and pork or just pork then its best served w/o tomato.

The point has already been proven without refutation that all of Louisiana enjoys and even boasts of jambalaya with tomato.

Ancient history brah. Much has changed in 13 years, especially the mass migration from Italian Red to Cajun Brown Jambalaya. Join the wave!

Some people just can never admit their wrong. It's a character flaw.
The recipe I use is a slight variation of the River Road cookbook recipe.

I swear I think you have to be just flaming away or you really have attained all of your knowledge about jambalaya from the world wide webs.
If I hired Folse or Link or Besh to show up and cook a jambalaya at a function and he pulled out tomato paste or diced tomatoes I'd tell him to GTFO with that crap...I'd be laughing but I'd be serious.
It's not my cup of tea and it's not preferred by most residents of LA. I don't need the webs to tell me that. I know it from experience.
This board used as a small sample of LA cooks would show you that 9/10 on here prefer it w/o. But if it's in one of your books it must be true

I'm not flaming, I'm just fed up with the holier than thou attitude on this subject. The fact is, I like many kinds of jambalaya - with tomatoes or not. But to say it's not jambalaya if it has tomato is ignorant and provincial. This is the attitude of this board:
It's not in "one of the books", it's in all of them. how 'bout you come up with a list of Louisiana cookbooks that have only jambalaya recipes without tomato?
