Andouille Sausage…help.

Market Basket in LC used to have really good smoked sausage, I don’t know if you’ve tried them…

I’ll stop by there this week.

Is it the market basket brand or another brand to look for.

There's always the option to make your own. I started doing that a few years ago when the price of Andouille went nuts. I just checked and it's over $10 a lb. at both Baileys and Jacob's in LaPlace.

I can make it for around $2 a lb. and can grind it like I want-----but I do prefer a courser grind for Andouille.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to make your own sausage and if you want to be economical doing it, you can get what you need for about $300.

I use a LEM #10 hand cranked meat grinder, and I do have a hand cranked designated stuffer that is a game changer. Casings are cheap and easily gotten on-line.

Wayne Jacobs, Laplace, cajun/spicey smoked sausage is what you want. Not real peppery , good smoke, finer grind.

I’m looking for a smoked pork sausage that has a fine grind on the filling.

Yep. Buy smoked pork sausage. Problem solved.

Thanks guys.

Lots of great info here.

I’m going to check out MB this week.

I do like the idea of making my own, but going to do a bit of deep diving research on this subject.

Happy thanksgiving.
