Jambalaya is hard to do wrong even from a mix. From scratch, who is he calling froo froo?
I think it was a rice accompaniment to the lamb - probably not a huge bowl of it as generally is served. Carolina Gold Rice is a rare heritage grain.
I just read an article about strawberries being in season in the south but the Trumps served nectarines, instead. I just had some strawberries in Alabama last week and while they looked beautiful, they were very sour. So they were smart to go with the nectarines.
Jambalaya is very hearty. The menu sounds delicious. Erickson is jealous. Putz.
