Uh, no. Lots of food choices are cheaper than boudin.

Dude, I like tamales and have been eating them since I can remember, which is well before the "hipster" age..

I don't give a frick if it's considered poor at all. Boudin is fricking good as shite and I'd eat it every damn day of the week if I could.

There is an awesome youtube documentary on it. It was developed as way to use the whole pig during hard times. After the depression they tended to use better ingredients.


I just watched it. I've ate the stuff since I was a kid and had no clue how big it has gotten. Millions of dollars in revenue, wow.

well, they're both delicious culturally distinct foods that people love and appreciate how much time and effort it takes to make them. so yeah, you're right.

Is it cheap? No it's not so that should answer your question. All least not the good stuff.

I've had some really good boudin but for the most part it's not really appealing to me. I'd rather sausage all day everyday.

I think calling it poor people food may be a bit much, but it is definitely fat people food

it actually started out as a delicacy in france probably a thousand years ago. but louisiana added rice, and for some reason most people stopped using blood to make boudin. imho, if it ain't red it ain't real boudin, it's just encased rice dressing
