Do y'all grind or shred? What do most prefer?

Personally, I like ground, but I've had some shred in LA and I'm making boudin for some LA folks, so I want to get it right.

Also, have y'all ever added milk and/or eggs?

Grind. No milk or eggs. I was never pleased with my product, however.

Dont grind
Add cold rice
Include liver the last hour when your cooking your butts
Fresh green onions when you go to mix the rice and meat
Quart of whole milk and 1/2 dozen eggs to every 20lbs of milk
Need to cook your pork about 5 1/2 hrs


















J/K on the dairy, save that for ice cream.

thanks! the reason why I asked is because when I used to live in france, they use milk/eggs for thickening with no rice. thought it might be interesting to try a combo.

It's your sausage and you can do what you want with it but I wouldn't use and dairy products in it. If you do maybe try out a small batch to see if you like it. Personally, I've never heard of it.

I don't grind or shred. I chop to the consistency I want. And no milk or eggs.

Correct. Because boudin in France and Cajun boudin are two pretty different products. I saw product in Paris labelled boudin and knew something was definitely different.

Wikipedia explains:

Boudin blanc: A white sausage made of pork without the blood. Pork liver and heart meat are typically included. In Cajun versions, the sausage is made from a pork rice dressing (much like dirty rice), which is stuffed into pork casings. Rice is always used in Cajun cuisine, whereas the French/Belgian version typically uses milk, and is therefore generally more delicate than the Cajun variety.

In French/Belgian cuisine, the sausage is sauteed or grilled. The Louisiana version is normally simmered or braised, although coating with oil and slow grilling for tailgating is becoming a popular option in Lafayette, New Orleans, Houston, Beaumont, and Baton Rouge.

Boudin blanc de Rethel (pronounced : a traditional [b]French boudin, which may only contain pork meat, fresh whole eggs and milk, and cannot contain any breadcrumbs or flours/starches. It is protected under EU law with a PGI status.

**********

I was talking to a Canadian about boudin once, and we were on two different pages. His grandma used to make it, he said, but she was definitely making the French style.

If I grind, the consistency is not right for me. It might be my blade size though.

I prefer the shredded texture. I also use chicken livers instead of pork liver.

Apparantely pigs these days are born without livers, they are getting harder to find.

Seems like this could be a good happy medium. Might try this, too. Thanks

I enjoy pork liver and lots of it. When I stayed with family in SLA as a kid they used offal to make it and they always used blood. These days I can’t even taste liver at all.

Not to hijack your thread, but....

Do any of you have a family chaurice sausage recipe? I usually go buy chaurice from a little meat market in St. Martinville but I would like to try and make some at home. In a brief internet search I found quite a few recipes, including one from John Folse, but one seems like an imitation of another and I would like some variety in ingredients and methods.

TIA
