Wet, Creole, tomato...The dry, brown Cajun offerings are, not as good.

What if I told you plenty of brown jambalaya's (including ones that have won at the Gonzales Jambalaya Festival) use tomato paste in their recipes.
I would agree. Most of the time I make a brown jambalaya with no tomato products, but sometimes I will add a 1/2 can sauce/paste and 1 small tomato diced so fine you can't see it. With a spoon of roux, you cannot see it has any tomatoes and it has a slightly different taste, but will pass for a brown jambalaya.

but jambalaya is brown, and no seafood.
Brown shrimp jambalaya is very common DTB and is quite good, especially with white beans.

Proper brown jambalaya is not dry. You’re hanging with the wrong crowd.

I like brown and grew up on brown, but my wife, who’s from the New Orleans area loves a creole jambalaya with shrimp and sausage. So I have to make that sometimes and It’s pretty good. I don’t mind the change of pace sometimes.

It’s not.

To me, the best jambalaya is a mixture of both. Cajun and Creole food makes Louisiana unique… Throw a few Creole tomatoes diced up in your trinity and deglaze the pot with your favorite 5th of whiskey

Absolutley love both.
Lately I use mix by a local guy called "Smokin Oyster". Really good stuff.

You put a entire 1/5th in there?

I do and chicken stock as well

I haven't tried adding tomato to a jambalaya, but this is a nice product to have on hand when you want to add just a little umami bump without it being an obviously tomato dish. It's concentrated and a tablespoon or two is nice in some dishes that you wouldn't normally think of using tomato in.

And it's delicious, however, we are talking the merits of "tradition" and when one perceives jambalaya, what do they think of.

Then for me, wet, brown shrimp jambalaya, no sausage. Side of white beans and fried fish.

Let’s great either way.
The red creole ones folks made from home also had shrimp in it.

I never encountered a Jambalaya debate on Tigerdroppings. I have seen some vicious fights and terrible name calling but never a debate. This may be a first.
Pretty civil thus far.
