Maybe it's just because I'm a "yankee", but I've never heard of Roux. What is it and where in the northern lattitudes might I find it? I love a good gumbo, but have never made my own - so that probably doesn't help matters either.

roux is a sauce base. Oil and flour slowly cooked until it turns a chocolate brown. However if you try to hurry it the flour will burn giving the base a very bitter burnt taste.
It's easy to make if you have 45 minutes that you want to sit and stir a skillet constantly. That's why I buy it.
It is located on the same aisle as the spices and salad dressings here. Kroger has it and I am sure other supermarkets do as well.
