I like a Boudin sandwich with fresh French Bread or just eat it grilled plain. Heck, the stuff is delicious just warmed in the microwave.

I'll be bringing back an ice chest full of my favorite boudin on my next trip to Baton Rouge.

Chicken stuffed with Boudain is good! So are Boudain kolaches, fried boudain balls, boudain stuffed pork chops, smoked boudain, etc. I've never eaten it in a way I didn't like it. Have you guys tried any of the seafood boudain?

sounds good, but I have to correct you guys. As one that grew up in Louisiana, real boudin does not have an "a" in it.

You are from Plano and you're the authority on how boudain is spelled! Well you are wrong!!!!

Boudain is like saying I love sausage. It all depends on who's making it! I like mine with mustard!

Wow, how insulting. Its typically a good idea to do a little research before you make foolish claims and speak in absolutes....I grew up in Baton Rouge and have just recently moved to Plano, pal wink

If you don't believe me, maybe you will believe Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry: bou·din
Pronunciation: \bü-ˈdan, -ˈdaⁿ\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural bou·dins\-ˈdanz, -ˈdaⁿ\
Etymology: Louisiana French & French, sausage
Date: 1845
1 : blood sausage
2 : a spicy Cajun sausage containing rice and meat (as pork) or seafood
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/boudin

Or would you believe famous cajun chef John Folse?
Chef John Folse's "Nuttin' But Kickin'" Boudin
PREP TIME: 2 1/2 - 3 Hours
YIELDS: 70 (6-inch) links
http://www.jfolse.com/recipes/meats/pork18.htm

How about the late, great Justin Wilson?
http://books.google.com/books?id=UwXZzVE...din&f=false

Get the idea?

Anyway, spelling aside, I have a recipe that I use to actually make Boudin that is excellent. When I can't get back to Baton Rouge, I just make it for myself. Its better than any of the mass produced, pre-packaged stuff, but not quite as good as my favorite little hole in the wall. I still haven't figured out exactly what they put in theirs, but its just absolutely amazing.

Oh, and here is another delicious recipe if you already have the boudin (I substitute beef stock in place of the veal reduction). This one is by Emeril Lagasse (who also spells it Boudin): http://www.emerils.com/recipe/183/boudin-with-jambalaya-grits

Man, I used to love Justin Wilson and his little stories. I can still hear him say "joo-stain - that's my front name in French"

Yep! Paul Prudhomme spells it without the "a" as well! That don't make it right, P.A.L.!

I don't disagree that some people misspell it by adding an "a", but given that any expert on the topic spells it without an "a" including the Merriam-Webster dictionary, I think that its safe to say that the correct spelling is "boudin". I've NEVER seen it spelled with an "a" in South Louisiana, and that's a fact.

Doesn't really matter, anyway....spell it how you want to, but its good stuff if you get it from the right places or use the right recipe.

You are right! And I was just playin' with you. But, I would argue it can be spelled either way. I will concede a purist would drop the "a". But still pronouce it as there is no "I". Especially, in the bayous of southern Louisiana. They could not spell it either way! There I go again...... Boudin, boudain spelled any other way is just as good!

I made a stuffed pork tenderloin this weekend and it was amazing. Stuff the tenderloin, cover it with bacon, secure with butcher's twine, then add some cajun seasoning of your choice. I cooked it to an internal temperature of 165. It was phoenomenal.

I dont know you to spell it but I do like it, a lot. Have only had the stuff from the grocery store. I just toss it in a toaster oven and brown it on the outside a little and then slather it with cajun pepper sauce and tear into it.

Would love to know REAL cajuns make this stuff. Somebody give me a recipe.

Just found this, these look damned good



4 Large Bell Peppers
4-6 links of Boudin
4 Cheese Blend (shredded)
1 can Rotel (tomato and green chiles)

Wash, top, and clean peppers. Sprikle a little cheese in the bottom of each pepper. Fill each pepper with boudin (removed from the casing) and top with a a spoon full of Rotel. Place a generous portion of cheese on top of each one. Cover with foil and place in a 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.
