Talk:Tasso ham

Latest comment: 2 years ago by 8.9.93.141 in topic Jambalaya is not of Cajun origin

Since when can "ham" ONLY be the rear leg? What about picnics and shoulder hams? This article needs some tune-up. I will give the author time to do so. RichPTee (talk) 15:57, 9 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Jambalaya is not of Cajun origin edit

Jambalaya is not of Cajun origin. Yes, there is a Cajun version of Jambalaya, but it is an adaptation of a Créole recipe. The vast majority (over 75%) of Cajuns have their roots in Northern France (Brittany and Normandy) where as Jambalaya's direct antecedent id the Occitan dish Jambalaia. This makes sense as rice was introduced into Spain by the Moors, and similar dishes such as paella arose in the Catalan speaking districts which have a shared cultural heritage with Occitan France. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.198.132.220 (talk) 10:53, 17 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for pointing out the error. I corrected it in a way that shouldn't offend anybody.—8.9.93.141 (talk) 19:12, 7 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Unhelpful photograph edit

 
Poached eggs with tasso, griddled tomato and south Louisiana hollandaise

The food in the photograph just looks like chunks piled on top of an English muffin and covered with an orange sauce. Saying that tasso ham is in there somewhere does not help the reader understand what it looks like,.—8.9.93.141 (talk) 15:16, 7 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
