I know I don't quite have the coonass street cred but honestly if you start making your own you won't want to go back.

Unfortunately, if I turn the second bedroom into a smokehouse, I think the upstairs neighbors might complain, so I'm stuck with buying them from people with proper smokehouses.

I'd love to have some land where I could have a pop-up smokehouse and do my own. I have a friend that does it and what he comes up with isn't quite as good as the real pros, but it is really good sausage and he's able to make a variety of sausages that the pros wouldn't be able to market. He made this ginger, Asian pear, and pork smoked sausage once that was out of this world on the grill.

But, I'm getting off topic. I'll quit now.

Yes. This is the best smoked sausage available in south LA from a grocery store.

DD Hot



DD green onion for me. Hot overpowers the beans. GO adds a nice flavor without doing so

We go back and forth between the regular and the hot depending on who's eating, because yea the hot definitely packs a punch.

I would watch using Savoie's. I don't know if I got a bad batch or what, but I used 3 different kinds of sausage in my last red beans and cut them all different to taste. I ended up having to go through and pull out and throw away all the Savoie's because it tasted so bad. Others that tried them agreed. Like I said though I don't know if it was a bad batch or what, but I will never buy again. Plenty other good options.

Kelly’s in Opelousas, Dons or Billy’s. Pretty much anywhere in Lafayette/Acadian parish’s work.

Used Rabideaux’s deer and pork smoked sausage. Game changer.

I’m a big fan of conecuh too and see it’s getting tons of downvotes in this thread...especially on the first page. Why is that?

Because it doesn't compare to sausages made at meat markets all across louisiana.

I’m here for the down votes...

I think it’s the influence of my Pointe Coupee family, but I’m partial to Manda’s for red beans. I like the high fat component. It’s the only dish I use it for, but love it in beans.

Y’all can have the out of state companies like Conecuh and Richards. I’ll stick with the in-State brands. I like the guys at DD but I don’t like the breakfast sausage seasoning they use, same as Conecuh.
