(New Orleans) – Boudin simply means sausage. That’s how they call it in New Orleans which as most of you know already, has some French historical past. But their boudin is not like our Filipino longganisa or Polish sausage.
Louisiana boudin is a blend of rice, pork and Cajun spices stuffed in a delicate transparent natural casing. It’s a pack of piquant flavors. Totally different from my concept of a sausage but it’s good nonetheless. I heard from my local sources that the boudin served in Cochon Butcher is one of the best. So I dropped by a few hours before my flight back to Chicago for a quick tasting.
