I've never been a fan of anyone's jambalaya but I think its because I have a slight aversion to pork. The seasoning is usually not my favorite either. I also have a bias towards soups and stews though. Plus its the perfect time when it gets cool outside which is usually when everyone's making it and I mean EVERYONE. There was almost no chicken left in the supermarket and I saw everyone's baskets all having similar ingredients lol <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:976533076] in Its gumbo ...

archizzy 10/07/23 7:02:41 PM #4:	Yeah I'm sure when the weather finally changes people want to jump on it. Like where I live and Fall hits you see people make a pot of chili almost immediately as the first cool Fall weather hits. As for my jambalaya I do use andouille sausage so there is pork in it but I tend to make it seafood heavy even if it is not traditional. I put in shrimp, scallops, and I'll even add in some oven baked fish to the dish to make it very meaty and seafood forward. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.

I think its because no one here does it. I think that's more of a creole thing that Eastern Louisiana do. I live in the western side and nobody I know does it that way lol. They also add tomatoes in theirs I think. I always think about going to New Orleans but never do. <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:976533207] in Its gumbo ...

Pretty good if you like gizzard. Adds some flavor but not a lot to the actual roux. but yeah, I hate okra gumbo. It just destroys all the flavor. and I never thought of lemon juice or crab boil.

The texture of okra is awful and it's way to slimy. The taste of lemon juice and cajun seasoning always tasted great so I figured why not mix it with some crab boil and see what it does.

Tastes good in jambalaya and by itself too. I usually get some crab boil seasoning and boil it with some potatoes and mix some crawfish dip with ketchup, mayo, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce and dip it. So good. Basically something to hold me off until crawfish season. And the okra gumbo they make isn't slimy or anything but its all the little seeds and stuff in it and the okra overpowers the gumbo. I wonder if its because they put too much because sometimes I'll be told that someone put it in and I can't tell but in my family, they just stuff their gumbo with it and I just gags <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:976533826] in Its gumbo ...
