Ryan pronounced jambalaya correctly

Jum or Jam?

The crazy shite is my dad and his family made shrimp spaghetti and the only tomatoes they had in it were a can of diced tomatoes or a can of rotel is he had that, no sauce at all.

Well since this board loses its collective mind on technicalities like we all eat in each other’s kitchen and would slide that steaming bowl of gumbo or jambalaya back across the table and demand the few pieces of petite diced tomatoes be removed and what the hell is this Miller Genuine Draft shite-no Ghost in the Machine? I’ll go ahead and be the guy that points out spaghetti is the pasta not the sauce so he’s got his bases covered.

Tell your dad I’ll come eat his shrimp spaghetti with him and the family and I’ll bring a six pack of Miller Light and a wicker bottle of Chianti and after we finish the wine they can stick a candle in the bottle for a centerpiece.

Then I’ll whip up a batch of Natchitoches red beans-the soupy kind and reciprocate.

My dads from Chauvin.... when he made a jamabalaya it was shrimp, salt meat and had a can of rotel in it.

My moms from Vacherie..... when she made a jamabalaya it was chicken, pork meat and smoked sausage or andouille.


I liked them both equal.

My grandpa was from rural Vermilion parish. He cooked shrimp spaghetti and would cook crawfish jambalaya (with corn and tomatoes), but he also cooked a helluva traditional pork and sausage (brown) jambalaya.

ETA: it was all very good

LL when did you become so cultured?? You've come a long way from John L Lane

It's funny to me that a person who has never lived outside of EBR and has never traveled to Europe or Asia pretends to be "cultured"

Even my Vernon Roger's cookbook calls for Rotels and tomato sauce in the gumbo.

When have I ever referred to myself as cultured?

And I’ve lived in Livingston Parish too, thank you very much.

Place called Cafe Acadiana in Silverhill, AL (on way to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach). Super legit.

Yeah I wasn't trying to talk shite, just admired how you were able to escape the clutches of John L

Then she added the stock and cooked until the rice was done, but it was still a soup.



Well she should have added the roux.



Uh....maybe she should have added more RICE.

Was just informed by multiple people who know who she is ... that this young lady is an Alum of Baton Rouge High.
