Do you know what a roux is?

My father used to watch Justin Wilson religiously.

So I have heard that word about 1000 times but I don't know what the precise definition is beyond some kind of *SPOILER REMOVED*.

Edited to remove spoiler once I actually read the rest of the thread.

A sauce is a butter? You make no sense...

Do you know what a roux is?

YUP...it's a funny way to spell TRICKERY  

That's 'ruse' you knucklehead .  Roux is obviously one of those new-fangled shortened ways of typing the word 'rocks' for text messaging.  See?  Roux = 4 letters.  Rocks = 5 letters.  So much shorter.   As in "Dude, she roux!" 

I think some people were led astray in this thread by some weird food connection, but I've never heard of that and I know my way around a kitchen seeing as how I can microwave my own popcorn and I don't have to use the preset popcorn button on the microwave!

Ok...I can cook somewhat..but what the hell is it?!

I am refusing the ultimate urge to google it.

This is like catching the back end of a story on the radio where they keep saying, "It" or 'The situation" and you don't know what IT is!!

It's essentially a thickening agent made by cooking oil and flour together to varying degrees of brownness. Used in as a base stuff like gumbo.

Make a dark roux, add in diced onion, celery and green peppers. Sautee for a long time. Add stock, spices, a bay leaf, andouille and chicken or seafood. Salt and pepper, and you have gumbo. Serve over rice, garnish with filé. Easy peasy.

Basically butter & flour cooked together, it's the base for bechamel/white sauce. I was making soup the other night and fussing that I couldn't decide if the roux looked right or not since it had been forever since I'd made it, and he got near giddy that I even knew what it was.

Cooking was the one girlfriend trick I had, now I'm dating a chef...I am so up a creek.

Has a winking emoticon ever contained so much potential?  I'm not going near this one.
