Depending on how much chicken broth to beef broth you use it might come out lighter. I agree with you, I cant taste it, its just for contrast. But hey, what do I know, I'm only an amateur.

America's Test Kitchen reviewed Kitchen Bouquet as a flavoring agent. They said it was supposed to be a replacement for fond. WTF? To me, it's just food coloring. Of course, ATK dissed it pretty badly for not adding flavor.

Mushroom gravy and rotfl tomatoes huh? Neither were in the jambalaya calculator. What's your opinion?

I like my jambalaya and pastalaya to be the color of a paper bag when done. If I can't acheive that color when browning the meat, I will add kitchen bouquet.
This past weekend I cooked a large pot and all of the ingredients were donated by River Parish Foods (owner of Veron Sausage). I have no idea what kind of pork the gave us but it would not brown. It wasn't temple or boston butt. When I added the water it was kind of pale, so I added KB till I got the color I like.

I don't give a rat's arse what other people think about it.(No offense Rat)

I like both brown and red jambalaya. The best I ever had was of the brown variety, but for example, I had a hell of a good oyster jambalaya years ago at the Galliano Oyster Festival that was red, and many other recipes have tomato product in them that don't turn out red in color.

I've always said that the jambalaya calculator is not geared toward brown jambalaya, although people assume that. If you want to use tomato product, just count it as part of your liquid (except for paste, of course).

And I don't care if you use some canned products as long as it tastes good. "If it tastes good, it is good".
