Jambalaya need (4)
I believe the answer is:
rice
'jambalaya need' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rice that I've seen before include "... his librettist - cereal" , "Basmati, for example" , "Grains from the paddy field" , "Cereal food" , "Cereal grown in paddy fields" .)
