the amount of pork liver is less in the larger producers than in the smaller (esp back in the day). T-Boy's still does a pretty good job.

It aint boudin if there is no liver in it, IMO.

T-Boy's is excellent, but it has to come from the Mamou store. It's not made in Eunice and I've had some less that great experiences at the Eunice annex.

if it doesnt have liver it isnt real boudin.
then what is crawfish or seafood boudin? or any other boudin that doesn't use liver? Just because you like it doesn't make it a requirement.

You answered your own question. It's 'crawfish boudin' or 'seafood boudin'. Plain ole 'boudin' needs liver in it.

Liver or its not the same taste as old style boudin from 60-70-80's.
If I use chicken liver in my boudin its about 4 pounds pork butt or picnic roast to 1 pound liver.
If I use pork liver, then its about 5-6 pounds pork meat to 1 pound of liver. The pork liver has a much stronger taste, but I like that sometimes as it brings back memories of the boudin that I, my dad, grandpa, and their friends used to make back in the 1970's-80's.
I made some boudin last week and used a picnic roast and chicken livers. Was a big roast so I cut some chunks to make marinated pork griards, then used the rest for boudin with a pack of chicken liver. Got the stuff at Russell's Food Center in Arnaudville as they have a great meat section!
Also made a few boudin balls stuffed with pepper jack, coated with flour to egg to panko bread crumbs

I like it with or without.. but it doesn't need it. And too much of it, ruins it.

I have never made boudin nor even been around it being made. How different is making it from what the prairie Parishes call rice dressing?
Posted on 6/18/25 at 10:44 pm to andouille
No liver = yuppie boudin.
Posted on 6/20/25 at 9:29 am to andouille
I put chicken liver in it. I personally prefer larger pieces but you can cut them up to the size you like.

First time I ever had boudin was in 92 when I went to Mamou for Mardi Gras with a friend of mine whose family lived there. His grandmother had boudin made by a guy named John Saucier. It's all I had to eat that entire weekend, other than some cookies I bought at the superette.

I've often wondered if Ronnie's doesn't use chicken liver. Or maybe mix chicken with pork in his boudin. It doesn't have the color or the pungent flavor of pork liver. Excellent taste and no grease.

Mr. Balls, what do you do with the bags of the boudin not in the casing?
Posted on 6/20/25 at 1:13 pm to Gris Gris
Mainly stuff stuff Gris. Pork loins, pork chops, chickens, mushrooms, peppers etc. I've also gotten pretty good at pepper jack egg roll wraps. I've have yet to fry a proper boudin ball though. They always fall apart

Now I want boudin. Damn texas
Posted on 6/20/25 at 2:19 pm to andouille
I always put a container or 2 of chicken liver when we make ours. Made a batch once with none and it wasn't as good as usual.

Good fresh pork liver. At least 1/3 of the meat.
