Lamendola's, Murray's, DeLaune's, Ralph's and LeBlanc's all in Gonzales carry it. Most times its not in the meat case so ask the butcher and he will cut you a block to whatever weight you want.I use two lbs per gallon pot.

another damn place I have to stop at

ETA: I usually do 1 lb chicken, 1 lb pork, 1 lb sausage.

Thanks for posting these places. I had business in Laplace today, so I took the opportunity to head up to Gonzales to check them out.

I found Lamendola's first, and they had a partially frozen pack labeled "Pork Temple Meat" of 5-6 lbs for less than $10. They had other smaller packs labeled "Jambalaya Meat" on trays for about $3 a lb. The guy working there said he didn't care for temple meat because he said the meat "got stringy". Is that true?

I also found Leblanc's Seasoning on sale for $1.29 for 8 oz. I got 3. While I was checking out, the cashier said I had to try their hogshead cheese and she even went and got it for me.

Next, I came across Ralph's. They only had the 1 lb trays of jambalaya meat for about $3.50/lb. I didn't get any, since I already had some to try. But I did get their hogshead cheese and some bacon maple smoked sausage. I also got some Leblanc's Hot Seasoning Mix.

Must have driven past Leblanc's Market, but I look forward to coming back and checking out the others.
