Roux (pronounced roo) is French but that's the word used in recipes in English. I don't think there's an actual English word for it.
I guess English speakers don't understand the beauty of what you can do to a recipe with a little oil and flour. They'd rather drown their food in bottled sauces heavy with sweeteners and stabilizers you find on the label and can't pronounce.

Why the need to put others down?
Many words are adopted from other languages.

This English speaker loves the magic of a roux! I showed my dd6 just the other day what just oil, flour and milk can become! Btw, I always use half of the oil called for and it still comes out beautifully. I know, not the classic ratio, but it works well and less calories and fat.

This English speaker doesn’t know what roux means, but very rarely uses bottled sauces.
Not sure why people feel the need to put down others who do differently than them. (Isn’t this what’s being discussed in the chumra thread???)

How is it not offensive? It's disgustingly offensive.

Let's say it wasn't offensive. My question still stands. There was nothing even remotely personal in that post.

Wow, ok.
The English word for roux is roux. Language is a construct that is constantly evolving due to many factors, one being the influence of other cultures and languages. It's like telling me I don't have a name in English🤣
Just like jeans (an American fashion item) are called jeans in french. And kangaroo is the same word in English and MIH. And the word telephone sounds the same in hundreds of languages..
Les francais n'ont pas le droit d'auteur sur la bonne cuisine, n'est-ce pas?
