I cleaned up a couple details, fixed grammar problems, and gave the content better flow. -Anonymous
[edit] Plagiarism
The article in its present form is plagiarised from http://www.fabulousfeasts.com/cooking_classes.htm - which states in part for the recipe "Shrimp, Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya" that "Jambalaya is the name for a variety of rice-based dishes common in Louisiana Cajun cooking. It may derive from the Spanish dish paella, possibly brought to Louisiana when Spain controlled the territory comprising the future Louisiana Purchase, although many other theories exist, including the notion that it is a combination of the words jambon (French for ham), and ya-ya (West African for rice)."
There are also problems with the accuracy of the article's food anthropology basis. I will correct the same.
Because of the unoriginality of the article, I will substantially change the wording to avoid potential problems and reflect integrity in character and submisstions to Wikipedia. K. L. Bardon 03:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
I removed a reference to the use of roux. It wasn't clear if the original author understood the role of roux in dishes like gumbo and etouffe. Roux is not used in jambalaya. --Jdclevenger 20:41, 27 June 2006 (UTC)n
