Sausage for Gumbo

I almost always just use Benoits smoked venison sausage I have made, so I can't help much, although Best Stop or Don's smoked chicken sausage is a great addition whenever I am over that way to grab some.

Garlic pork sausage from LeJeune's Sausage Kitchen in Eunice

Meche's meat market(Opelousas)Hot pork smoked sasauge.

Gumbo and red beans only.

Smoked Pork from Teets in Ville Platte

I use the smoked pork sausage for pigs raised here at my house. I take the pigs to Bellvue (north of Haughton) for processing and he does an outstanding job.

I like Rouses smoked green onion.

My Dad makes and smokes his own pork sausage and that's what I use. It's good and the price is right.

this use to be my answer. dad and i built a smoke house on the back of his property years ago. he produced some dang good sausage (usually pork/beef mix). Katrina destroyed the smoke house and he doesn't get around well enough anymore to rebuild the smoke house or make his own sausage...

these days, i buy whatever i can get at these south plains grocery stores....which, quite frankly, isn't that impressive.

u ever tried mac's? not too bad, better than manda.. My gumbos are usually pretty at the moment decisions. I look in the freezer and see a build up of oyster juice bags and chicken stock bags and then look to see if I have any sausage and chicken.. I need to start planning..
