Ok. I've got 3 places to order online from this thread. The Best Stop, bourque specialties and the one I had found the cajun grocery, which I've already been told not to order from. So out of these which should I choose? I plan on ordering tonight or tomorrow am.

Dont forget Teet's. Not for boudin but for smoked sausage, tasso, and ponce.

Best Stop if those are your only three choices.

Can't go wrong with either Bourques or Best Stop.

I have long been a fan of boudin from Don's Specialty Meats.

Recently tried boudin from Kartchner's and think it is also top notch.

Good reviews of Kartchner's and Don's at LINK Both A+ rated.

I used to gently heat boudin in a pan of simmering water. Lately I put some heavy duty foil, folded, on the front of my gas grill. Light the burner beneath the foil on lowest setting, put on medium the burners in the back. Spray the foil with Pam, and sautee/grill the boudin, flipping now and then with tongs. Makes the casing crisp and renders some fat.

I usually just eat it with saltines, but I have put it in a soft hoagie or hotdog bun with good results.

I hope you get to try some and like it. But if you don't, try someone else's. The recipes vary a good bit.

I put a bunch of Best Stop in some creole tomatos tonight and set on the Weber Kettle for 45 minutes. Very good.

The youtube video about boudin is awesome. Also informative and interesting are the interviews here:

Southern Boudin Trail

A number of the top boudin makers were interviewed. You can watch videos of each interview or read the transcripts. Interesting how many use a 5/1 ratio of pork shoulder to pork liver. You can also find out which makers use less, more, or zero pork liver. Check it out.

Speaking of ways to eat it (a few pages back), it's also good uncased and spread on buttered French bread. Yes, buttered.

Bring it out my mouf!
