Cajun Tip of the day, I'mma learn y'all to eat

I’m an Italian/German from the Midwest. Talk to me more about boudin. Fiddleback Fiddleback How do you eat it and where can I order some? Got a good link to a recipe you approve? I’ll make it! I love trying new things. Help me out here :)
 
Cliffs note version, it’s a seasoned ground pork and ground liver with white rice, green onions, and stock stuffed into a casing and generally steamed but is great grilled and sometimes smoked.
 
Haven’t tried Cajun sausages but maybe one day.

The best sausages I had was in Germany & Poland when I was traveling in Europe ( 1995 ) still marvel over how cheap things were in Poland back then.

It’s so plentiful around here that I don’t even make it at home. I’ll try to find you a good recipe for it.

The link in the original post is one place that will send the real stuff to you. Boudin is a rice sausage the Cajuns came up with because they were starving and didn't have much meat. They had been thrown out of New Orleans after being thrown out of Canada by the Brits. New Orleans was the closest French port. This drove what they could farm and what they ate. Rice grows in floodwater so it was perfect. Anyway its delicious. Just grill it on low and enjoy. (Be prepared. Bourques will sell you mild sausage, but the boudin is spicy. I don't think they make a mild.)

Absolutely, Cajun food down here in South Louisiana is found only here. Venture out and the taste changes. A restaurant down here serves what's called "Wayne's Special" ( it goes by different names) which is rice with a fried catfish filet and crawfish Etouffee on top of everything. That'll learn ya how to eat.

That’s pretty common dish that goes by a thousand names. Catfish billy was what I knew it by for awhile. And seen it called so many things.

Where you at, ajack?
 
Sweet. My dads family is from starks and Venton area. Still some distant aunts, uncles and cousins there.
 
I grew up in Lake Charles... This thread is useless without pictures and even though I'm in Kansas City these days, there's this grocery store downtown that has something that passes as Boudin from Beaumont, TX that scratches my itch every so often... For a while the local walmart stocked Richard's Boudin and Andoullie... Here's what's in my fridge that I can get locally. It's not as smoked and aged as I remember it as a kid from Market Basket, but it's not bad... For me the holy grail is taking the Butte La Rose exit West-bound off the Achafalaya causeway and following the road south about a mile or so to some Chevron gas station that has a rice pot full of boudin on warm. Two links on the picnic table outside listening to the sounds of the levee and the swamp. It's become a must stop.

I tried to tell Andy Zummos is good
 
I’ve used Richards when making boudin king cake before and it’ll work in a pinch. Def not the worst I’ve had. Stock photo but you get the idea.

schmittie schmittie , I can’t get anyone to give me their own recipes, but I was directed to here. http://www.realcajunrecipes.com/recipe/classic-boudoin-boudin/

Was told that one wasn’t bad. Looks like it has the basics for sure and should be good. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out.
