Same here.... I've known a few people that did it but they were picky eaters.... It's amazing how little folks know about boudin on this site. Not in reference to this debate just in general..

I eat it when I get it from Best Stop, but I claim no Acadian heritage, I'm a city boy. Its been an interesting thread nonetheless, people obviously have strong opinions.

You should of seen the thread where everyone claimed boudin is raw and has to be cooked before you eat it .
Posted on 7/9/12 at 4:28 pm to mouton
To me that's different, just because its about people being ignorant about cooking who should be ridiculed and deservedly so. This is more of a cultural thing and it seems that the consensus here is that there is no consensus as both sides of the debate seem to claim the exact opposite of the other.

I'm a womanfolk and the only time I don't eat the casing is if it falls off or becomes detached when it's cut and the boudin is steamed rather than grilled or smoked. I also do not devein crawfish. Takes too much time.
This thread reminds me of chili, tomatoes/okra in gumbo etc... Who knew!

I remember reading an interview with the owner of tboys slaughterhouse and he said pretty much everyone eats the casing.

Well according to my grandpa , you must have a pretty hairy chest

The boudin I grew up with, Crowley, Jennings, Gueydan, Kaplan, Abbeville...etc. The casing is inedible. It's not a manly/girly thing. It'd be like eating the plastic ring on bologna or some schmuck eating the crawfish shells out of ignorance. The casing is simply a delivery device that makes boudin portable for working in the rice field. Grilled boudin and smoked boudin were not the norm in that part of the state. You can find it now that there has been a Boudin Renascence, but that is new fangled boudin thought.

I've had plenty of boudin from those areas and the casings had a snap when u but into it. Sound like you just eat shitty boudin.

this debate has been entertaining but now people are getting ridiculous. you may not like to eat it, but come on! boudin is traditionally made with natural casing...which is very much edible. just like most other types of sausage, also made with natural case.
good lord...

I dont know anyone from texas who doesnt eat the casing. My family in henderson, the suburbs of st martinville, and lafayette all squeeze it out the casing.

.... my family is all from Evangeline parish...and i don't know anyone that doesn't eat the casing.
but i don't care what anyone does...i was responding to the notion that eating the casing was the equivalent of eating the shell of a crawfish...that is an absurd comparison....

Eating a casing like this is unchewable. Someone compared it to a latex condom, and that is pretty accurate. If the casing on a steamed piece of boudin is thin and brittle, you are eating old boudin. If you are getting boudin from a gas station that just reheats it, and not from a place that makes it fresh, you will get brittle casings.

Another example from Best Stop - fresh casings

i've eaten it hundreds of time. i've helped make boudin lots of times as well. and i've never had a problem eating the casing of fresh, steamed boudin.
we'll just have to disagree; but that's ok...
