I saw some Richard's boudin in a grocery store up here.

Has anyone reading this tried it? If so then please let me know what you think. I've never had Richard's, but it comes from Church Point so I guess it should be pretty good.

Thanks in advance.

It's not horrible but it's no where near local Acadian area meat market boudin. I get it sometimes when im grilling and put it on the grill, that's my favorite way to eat it.

The smoked one makes for a serviceable option in areas that don't have fresh.

It's not bad at all. Bake it in the oven at 350 for about 35 to 40 minutes.

this board loves to complicate shite Throw it on a hot as shite gas grill for 5-10 minutes and it's fine



Eta: I'm thinking this was sarcasm

I don't like to fire up my grill in 100 degree humid BR weather. Doing it in the oven gives the skin a bit of a crunchiness that I like...I normally get my boudin from Chris' Specialty Meats.

I really like staying inside during the BR summers.

I like boudin straight out the package sometimes not even heated.

It will do, if you don't have anything else available.. Which is a big compliment from someone from the Cajun heartland.

Heat you a pot of water on the stove. When the water starts to smoke, reduce the heat to keep it at that temp and don't let the water come to a boil. Drop the boudin in the pot of water for 10 minutes.

It's a decent last resort, but no where near fresh stuff. Decent on the grill but can dry out quickly.

Boudin is 100X better if it is grilled/baked/broiled.

I haven't had Richard's in a while, but I don't remember it being very good.

I put it on my Weber charcoal kettle and am eating it now.

Richard's beats the pants off of Manda, which is the only other brand that can be purchased in this area.

I am pondering if Richard's has created a"hybrid" boudin - something that might appeal to Cajuns and also those in the hinterlands.

Whatever it is I think this is pretty good and will buy it again.

Give it a light sprinkle of your favorite Cajun seasoning and grill until the casing is crisp. It's not bad at all.
