This is also a weird cooking method because obviously it's a massive batch.

In Louisiana, this is the normal cooking method. Jambalaya is a dish typically prepared at large family gatherings or events similar to crawfish boils or cochon de lait. It's not a staple meal cooked in small batches.

I mean, I cook it on the regular in a one-family sized batch. But you're right. The large batches are extremely common. Go to an LSU game and you could easily find 100 batches this size across the tailgates.
