Why would someone buy a raw boudin for relatives out of town when a cooked product would keep better.
So they can cook it and have it fresh.

Traditionally boudin is not cased with raw meat and then boiled to cook the meat. The pork shoulder is normally boiled first before being cased.
All I know is that we have to boil it for 30 minutes for it to be "cooked". Maybe our disagreement lies with how we define raw- and I may be the one who is wrong.

I assumed when we ask for and buy "raw" boudin...that has to be cooked/boiled for 30 minutes OR put on a pit, it's "raw." If it's "cooked" before casing I don't know why we'd have to do more than heat it up but I will ask a friend who has a slaughter house and find out.

i think this is because they associate it with sausage....boudin is a pain in the arse to make

Right. the casing only (assuming it is natural) will be raw--and heating up the boudin will take care of that issue.

Rice needs to be cooked, poach the links then if desired grill them.

I grew up in South La and never had come across or heard of an uncooked boudin.


It's all cooked. I think you are confusing uncooked with nonsmoked.

A small store down the road from where i grew up sold boudin not smoked, but rather boiled. Then they would put it in the meat case to sell. We used to eat it just like that.

I was told that a meat market in Hawkinsville ,Ga not far from where I live carried boudin


You should know better than to believe anything a meat market in Ga tells you about boudin.

Why would ask if it was raw anyway?

I grilled a couple links of this and it tasted like a fresh pork sausage with a bit of rice mixed in.


That's because that is exactly what it was.
