re: Boudin casings: why?

I have NEVER seen anyone eat the casing of boudin. I grew up in abbeville. 100% coonass. we steam it and squeeze it out the top or cut it down the middle and scoop it out with a fork.
The only time i ever grilled boudin was by accident, pulled unlabeled pack out the freezer and threw it on the grill, couldn't figure out why the "sausage" wouldn't cook, then realized it was boudin - oops

Now if the casing is cooked apart from steaming and breakable that is different.
it always breaks when i bite into it even when steamed

I'd go as far as saying a thin or breakable casing was the sign of old boudin. It was how you could tell that you were being served old/reheated boudin. Fresh stuff always has a very pliable casing.

You're doing it wrong

As a relative yankee (Tennessee), I have always eaten the casing, but I have never had boudin cooked any other way than on a grill. The crispy casing is delicious.

walk in the mowata store and start sucking boudin out of the casing and you'll get laughed at

Not crispy. Looks like a good pliable casing to me. (filling looks a bit runny for my liking though)

The mowata store's casing is not breakable Im sorry. You could cut it with your teeth and maybe thats what you mean.
Dons and Best Stop you can bite into and it will split but Mowata store was a bad example for your cause of condom eating.
Hell even the bestlink defines Mowata stores casing as "Sinewy"

i've had boudin every which a way you can have it, and the casing is always chewy and kinda slimy, idk why you'd eat it.
Posted on 7/9/12 at 10:26 am to Catman88
I really had no clue people didn't eat it, to each his own

everyone i know eats the casing. i never viewed it as any different than eating sausage in the casing.

Well you are from Iota so I excuse you.

What about when it's already cut up in bite size pieces? Do you still squeeze it out?

Yes. More difficult, but I still extrude it.

If its tiny pieces then I may not bother since there wont be much to chew. If its cut into meaningful pieces then I will squeeze it out.

Man that blows my mind. I honestly did not know that so many people form the acadiana area did not eat the casing. I have always and most people I know have. Usually the people that I saw not eat it were new to the boudin experience. My question is then why put it in a casing at all?

Makes it easy to transport.
Just googling the subject most hits return include the statements:
"The casing, which most don't eat, is thrown away"
or "should point out that traditionally you do not eat the casing of boudin "
"You can eat the outer boudin casing, but many people just squeeze the inside of it into their mouth"
