Any of you guys out here have a particular smoked sausage that you can get out here that is comparable to what we would have readily available in Louisiana?

If so, what is it and where can I get it?

I get mine @ The Spotted Trotter in Krog Street Market. The andouille is quality.

I haven't found any good andouille or smoked made locally, but I might have to check out that place at Krog street market. I've been up to the Cajun Meat Company in Marietta to get Louisiana made sausage, the guy who owns it is from buras. He also makes some delicious stuffed chickens, pork loins, ect.

Yeah, I've been to that spot in Marietta. He's got some decent products in there, but a little pricey. Of course it's not pricey by Atlanta standards I guess, I just can't bring myself to pay that much for Manda sausage.

I feel ya. I usually have my parents stock up for me and I grab it when I drive home.

I live in South Louisiana and buy Conecuh Sausage (made in Alabama) to use in Jambalaya and gumbos. It's a decent substitute when my I don't have any from my local guy.

It's not bad in a bind, but I find it to be very greasy.

Do y'all have Publix in Atlanta? Ours in Nashville sell Savoie's. Not the best in the world, but it works. We have a local butcher that makes some andouille, but I refuse to pay the price they ask.

That's what I usually do, I bring back a shite load of stuff when I drive home for whatever the occasion might be.

Currently my stash is almost out, and I'm not going to be driving to Louisiana anytime soon. I need to stop using my personal stash of the good stuff when I cook for non-Louisianians who couldn't tell the difference if they tried.

I got tired of paying more for shipping than for the product,so I started making my own. Some of it is as good or better than the original and a hell of a lot cheaper.

I haven't searched the city to be sure, but I think most Publix and Krogers in ATL have one or both in case you aren't near Roswell.

The Publix out here in Lawrenceville has Savoie's. Kroger and Publix both carry Conecuh out here.

Any of you ever use Conecuh in Jambalaya, Gumbo, Red Beans, etc?

I make pork sausage, boudin , Andouille and tasso.
For the pork sausage and Andouille,I looked at the list of ingredients on a package of Poches and formulated a recipe. I have all of it on a spreadsheet that has active formulas so I enter how many pounds I want to make and it calculates all the weights of ingredients I need.
If you are interested I can send you a copy when I get home from work

Yup, I just cut it about 3/8-1/2" thick and fry it down a little.

Does anyone else find that the Conecuh recipe seems to have changed in recent years? Seems like it is a lot heavier on the sage than it used to be.

I used the hot and spicy. I didn't find it to have much sage in it.
