With another resounding victory, Jambalaya has been crowned as the ultimate tailgating dish.
As I've said numerous times, this isn't really all that a surprise -- aside from being in the pantheon of Cajun/Creole dishes that almost anybody that knows anything about Louisiana can name, jambalaya works perfect for a tailgate. It's fun to cook, easy to customize, goes a long way in feeding big groups and can even be fairly economical in a pinch.
Your favorite recipe is probably your own, or somebody else in your family. All it takes is one pot, and your favorite meats, plus some good smoked sausage.
