Whenever I'm dining at a Cajun restaurant, I'm always torn between shrimp-tastic jambalaya and red beans and rice with sausage. So I usually end up ordering a po'boy and gumbo instead. But if you had to choose, which one of these spicy New Orleans rice dishes would you pick?

Jambalaya, but I don't think I've ever had red beans and rice?
|

I'm always vaguely disappointed by red beans and rice. I've had it brilliantly *once*, but never again: always either too salty or too gummy or too *something*.

Red beans and rice, but mostly because there's a restaurant about six blocks away that has the most fantastic recipe!
|

I love how juicy Jambalaya is!
|
 |

Yay New Orleans!
|

Man, that is too tough to choose!!!! I love BOTH so much!

Jambalaya is the bomb but I had to go with my old standby red beans & rice.

red beans and rice, I've never had bad red beans when I lived in new orleans, even my grade school cafateria's red beans and rice rocked my socks

I've never liked jambalaya very much. I love red beans and rice though!
|

I've never had either... however, I know that I'm not a huge fan of beans (maybe I've just never had them right), and I LOVE shrimp, so I'd probably go with jambalaya.
|
 |
13
I don't really care for either.
|
 |
14
Um, BOTH...and gumbo too, please. And some beignets. Oh hell, now I'm PINING for a nice weekend in NOLA...
|
 |
15
Was really missing the BOTH option on this one... but if I could only have one, gimme jambalya
|
 |
16
I'd rather have red beans & rice, but both are really yummy!
|
 |
17
Haven't properly had either, although I had a ready-meal jambalaya once, and it was a bit wierd. I'd try both though, if they were cooked nicely and freshly
|

Yum! I love both... mine is determined by who has cooked it/where I'm ordering from =)
|
|

Red beans and rice, beignets, cafe au lait, oh my!
|
 |

I love jambulaya, gumbo, all those fabulous foods!
|
 |
21
Red beans and rice! I use my mom's recipe and it reminds me of home.
|
 |
22
I love them both - what can I say I am a true Southerner.
|
 |
23
I love red beans and rice. It is a staple in my Mothers kitchen... yum! It is Jambalaya, for me, that can be either really good or really bad... depending on who cooked it. I find the common problem is it's either gummy or over cooked.

I like the zip in Jambalya but red beans and rice are quite tasty too!
|
|
|
25
Both! But since that wasn't an option, I chose jambalaya. mmmmm
|
 |
26
i wouldn't eat either. i think that either one dish has meat which i don't eat or the other has beans and rice which are foods that i try to stay away from - so both are just a no go for me.

Jambalaya - hands down!
|
 |
28
Jambalaya is always a winner

crawfish etouffee

 |
31
Neither...
|
 |
32
I could never choose. I love them both and some gumbo and boudin plate would be great too.
|
 |
33
Actually I would rather have the crawfish etoufee from Tony's Restaurant/Deli on Plank Road in Baton Rouge!
|
 |
34
can't I have both???

Dirty Cajun Rice! (w/out liver) (I was born a coon-ass unfortunately. I try to rarely have rice though. Mostly eat the cajun foods during Christmas or special occasions.)
