An alternative is to eat like a native...get a link of boudin, half pound of cracklings , and a six pack for lunch and/or dinner

It's funny how accurate that is

True story...when I was much younger, I was working in Laffy and on the way home I detoured through VP to hit my favorite markets. I had boudin from one joint, cracklings from another, and assorted sausages and tasso from yet another place. I'd gotten a few heavy Buds to wash down the crackilings and boudin, none of which I'd had in quite a while. Overcome with hunger, excitement, and a strong thurst, by the time I got two miles out of town heading to I 49, I'd eaten a pound and aa extra stick of boudin, most of a half pound of the cracklings, and was on my third beer...stomach begin to fight back and I had to pull off the road, get out and walk around, and breathe like a woman in labor for about five minutes to keep it all down.
