Boudin - reminds me of when we were kids and would go to the butcher shop and watch them fill miles of casing with boudin stuffing.. It's eaten everywhere in South Louisiana from the tail gate of a pickup truck to a wedding reception. It's the most deeply engrained food in Cajun culture and it's enjoyed by the indigent to the prosperous. It's synonymous with happy times.. You can never be sad eating boudin, but ironically in Cajun lingo, if someone is pouting, the Cajuns say, "they're making boudin".

Sorry, I beg to differ on this one. Have never ever heard this expression. In SE LA cajun french, to pout is to "boude" (boo-day) which is not definitely not like boudin....in sound or meaning. Google boude (or bouder) and you'll see plenty of references supporting this useage in cajun french.
Also, the verb "bouder" means to sulk in standard, contemporary french.
We can also have a whole separate discussion about whether boudin is the "most deeply engrained food in Cajun culture". I'd argue long & hard that gumbo takes that trophy. Can a food rarely made at home (boudin) really claim the mantel as "most deeply engrained"?
