I am not sure how I would eat it honestly. Most of the time, my teeth don't even scar it as I'm pulling out the insides.

Grilled/smoked is an entirely different situation.

Need to change the thread name to boudin casings - are you for them or agin'em?

I have the same issue with Billy's. I get the regular steamed and the smoked---only have the issue with steamed. Unless I"m cutting off bites, my teeth just drag across the casing.

I've never really thought about whether or not I eat the casing because I'm not against it, but I'm not eating like a wild animal trying to peel apart skin If it comes off easily, sure I'll eat it.

let me guess, you're the type who also doesn't eat the skin of a baked potato.


Why would anyone want to do that?

because 100% of the vitamins are in the skin of the potato?

Do you wash your potatoes before you bake them? It should not taste like dirt.

Oh great we're about to start another controversy

99% of the time I have boudin, it has been grilled and grilled boudin casing is delicious. I will admit that steamed casing does taste different, but I still eat it anyways.

I'll add my name to the "do not eat steamed boudin casing" list

If it's grilled, I'm good to go

Oil the skin, sprinkle w/coarse salt, then bake. Damn delicious.

I eat the skin because I usually dice and roast potatoes (generally only red or fingerling) and the skin is barely noticeable. I haven't had a traditional baked potato since childhood. And have never bought russet for myself at the store---I'm partial to smaller and more buttery/soft potatoes.

If other restaurants make their twice baked/stuffed potatoes the way Sammys and Dempseys do, I'd advise against eating the skin

i cant stand eating just the 'guts' of a potato..i have to have a little skin in each bite or it doesn't taste right.

kinda like when i was a kid and didn't eat bread crusts.

This but I like using garlic salt.

Anyone that says potato skins are gross just hasn't had them the right way. I love me some potato skins.

Actually, I was sure the hot one would be tomatoes in gumbo or jambalaya. I had no idea there was a boudin casing controversy.

Personally, I like it when the skin snaps, but if it doesn't, I'll squeeze the boudin out toothpaste-style.
