Down Home Sausage, made in nearby Stonewall LA. Used Savoie’s for years but went local a while back.

I bought Conecuh once. I tasted it first and tossed it. I thought it was pretty bad and greasy.



I think it tastes OK, but to me its for breakfast only. It tastes like breakfast sausage to me. Great on a biscuit.

That said, I use local made andouille/sausage in gumbo from D&J's grocery store in Gonzales.

Great choices.

Dont miss Charlie’s in Mamou also. If you can get the hot pork, do it but usually have to call it in cause they only make it one day and it goes fast.

Had a wild hair and used Conectuh last gumbo. I was surprised.

Typically I’ll have some “Cajun” spiced deer sausage. That’s my go to.



It's really good in gumbo. It's all I use. The flavor and fattiness works well with it. I also love it with red beans.

I get what's near me. Usually it's either Iverstine, Tramonte's, or Chris' specialty meats.

For chicken and sausage, i like to use half fresh sausage, and 1/2 smoked or andouille just to change it up.

I like Conecuh because it is more rustic in texture and has an appropriate amount of smoke flavor to it wihout tasting artificial. I think Down Home is too close in texture to something like Hillshire and just fatty and or hot doggy so to speak. If I dont' have some that is processed by one of the small plants around here that do game processing, I'm generally going with Conecuh since Hightower is not out of business.

I couldnt even brown it without it crumbling out of the casing. It tasted fine but I had to cook my gumbo a little differently because of it. maybe I got a bad batch

I’ve come to like Verons for everything. Gumbo, jambalaya, spaghetti, or even just throw a link on sliced bread.

Veron, Richard's, Savoie's if you can't get any andouille from LaPlace

Double D makes some really good sausage as well. Not necessarily andouille though

I’ve been a big fan of Veron’s my whole life.

Verons SS and andouille from their store in Lutcher. The Verons brand they sell in your local grocery, just isn’t the same.
