I see all these recipes... and they all look good. But, (and I don't wanna
sound
like de food kops here) jambalaya comes from the French part of the Creole
heritage. And I don't seen no ham (jambon) in nary one of these recipes.
Now,
if it don't gots no ham it may be good or great. But it don'ts be no
jambalaya.
Back to our regular scheduled bickering and knuckle dragging......
ENJOY!!!
