The competitors don't use it, they don't even have sausage in the jambalaya they cook for the competition.

Hmmm I did not know that, not a whole lot of wiggle room to seperate yourself from the pack with those few ingredients.

I discovered Rabideuxs Pork and Venison this weekend, probably will never make gumbo without it again.

Probably a little smoky for some, but damn it was perfect.

Well hopefully you can make up your own mind. I'm not much of a sausage guy to begin with. But ok if Mandas is bad, you think Verons and Martins is that much better? Even I know they are middle tier sausage. The sausage I make at home is better than those.

I don't think either one is special by any means. But as I said I'm not really a sausage guy.

Veron is miles ahead of Manda. I understand that there are better alternatives out there.
