Sausage - for those not in Louisiana
Posted on 5/26/24 at 9:53 am

For andouille sausage around Auburn, AL, I can find Manda, Ragin Cajun, and Savoie's (other than Hillshire Farms, Conecuh, Kelly's and Johnsonville).
Of the three, Manda, Ragin Cajun, and Savoie's, for red beans and rice, what's the recommendation of the TD F&D experts?

There is no one answer. Everyone will give you a different answer. Some will swear one is terrible, others will swear it’s great.
Try them and see what you like.

I’ve used Savoie’s in a pinch. Manda is terrible. (And I hate saying this because they’re a Baton Rouge business)

From those, I would pick Savoie's. I live in Georgia, and my store carries Richard's too. I go back and forth.

See. I think it’s great in a black iron pot. Everyone will have different opinions.

Personally, I'd use Conecuh. If you specifically want andouille though, use Savoie's. Manda sucks, imo.
None of these brands are all that great though so like someone already said you're going to get varying opinions

I would use Savoie's hot smoked pork or andouille. I don't like Conecuh at all.

Savoie

This is the only correct answer so far

Me too. Kelly's is also good if you haven't tried it.

I like Kelly's alright, but I don't always see it unless I am in LA. Snowden's is good too, but has an even smaller distribution area.

In my opinion, Manda is great in crawfish boils because it doesn’t have the strongest flavor of its own, and thus absorbs a lot of the flavors around it. In a dish where you are counting on using the sausage as a seasoning to add a lot of flavor, manda is really not the right choice.
Posted on 5/26/24 at 11:45 am to SpotCheckBilly
Savoie's or Richards are my go-to if out of my own homemade andouille, and that's only happened a couple times in the past few years.
Posted on 5/26/24 at 11:46 am to SpotCheckBilly
I really don’t like the flavor of Manda. So anything but that would be my choice.

If those were my only choices I would use Conecuh too. Specifically the “Cajun.” It’s closer to andouille than their other conecuh stuff.

It's a good frying sausage.
So jambalaya or even a sauce picante base if you skim the fat.
I prefer to buy sausage from Bourques me

Savoie's or Richards are fine, but far from exceptional. They're easy to find in these parts and its what I'll use if I can't find anything better. I don't know if tasso is a thing outside of south LA but you could put some of that in your red beans to boost the flavor if you can find it.

I use Savoie's, but I pull off the casing because it can get kind of chewy.

I have never had it (that I know of) but this is everyone I know says it is terrible. How do they sell so much of it? Is it cheap, I have never bothered to look because I never plan to buy it.
