So what's in jar Roux that gives it that "off" taste?
Age
In the jar, the taste will change over time. What you are tasting is chemical degradation of the carbohydrate and oxidation of the oil. I do not have a label, but I assume they add stuff to the blend that you wouldn't add at home. Probably stabilizers....

"Malted Barley Flour"
No idea why they would want to ruin roux with that. I can immediately taste that in roux out the jar. Cant stand the taste.

should I be embarrassed for using tony's roux mix, or is now considered acceptable?
Use whatever tastes good to you.

It all oil and flour, what separates them is the type of oil used.

jar Roux
think i might name my next son this.
I used jar roux for years before learning (with help from this board) to make my own. I don't think I'll ever go back to jarred stuff.
Maybe just because of the satisfaction i get from being able to say i made it myself.

Im the same, except I havent moved off the Jar yet.
My gumbo comes out so good using the jar I see no reason to change to making my own.
