Need a Cajun

I have no idea what I'm eating,DW got them overnighted from La.They look like brats,have rice and greenonions,other spices,and they are great!!!Tastes like some kind of sausage.UMMMMMMM!!

Rootdoctor
You have been introduced to boudin.
Bon Mange!
Bud

Yes indeedy,they are mighty fine!I would like to make some,is there sausage in it?Pretty smooth eatin!Thx Bud!

rootdoc, you might be better off enjoying your Boudin (pronounced boo-dahn)not knowing what goes in there...hehehe.

LOL!

oh dogs! I wanna know! Is it one of them sausages that have everything from some animals stomach to chicken lips in it? Well, seasoned and such?
Post a pic, root!

I done et the evidence Shoe,I don't know what it was,but I want more!Bout the only thing I don't like is tripe,and in seems to be a sunday tradition in this area.Tripe?minudo?same thing.

tell ya what, next time I venture out to the meat market, I'll pick up a link and send you a picture of it Shoe. It is good, just oh so bad for you..lots of "badies" in it. I gave up eating it some time ago..clogs up the plumbing(and I don't mean the outside plubming..)Stuff used? everything from chicken lips to pig intestines.

How about Nutria?? (sp)

ahh yes Azalea--the rat that ate Louisiana http://www.gsmfc.org/nis/nis/Myocastor_coypus.html for once, something is eating us out of our home, rather than us eating them. Actually, there is a meat market that process Nutria meat since a bounty has been put on their heads. They are making Nutria jerky and sausage. I haven't tried it yet though. I do however remember my dad one cooking on the pit when I was little, I am sure I ate some at one point in my life. When yer hungry, you eat anything..lol.

Hmmm...methinks I'd go for the nutria before I chose that boudin...
Can you trap a couple and send me some, Lisa? You know, for old time sakes!

I guess that was it,I didn't eat all day,cause the boudin was great.

It scares me half to death! Why anyone would want to eat the very things which are known to carry all the trouble making substances in a living body is a total mystery to me. But I do know there are at least as many people who love it as there are who won't eat anything from an animal. Not a vegetarian, but I just can't bring myself to eat some things, like the lining of stomachs or anything made from blood.

AW, I wasn't scared a bit,DW got em overnighted from a friend so it was a homerecipe,Lots of rice and green onions,Looked like a brat,and I know what goes in them:)
But when it comes to the minudo,I can't even be in the house while they are cooking it...Shoe I bet you'd eat Boudin if it was sittin on a grill an ya hadnt et all day.

Here you go doc & shoe, a big old link of cyber boudin for yall. This is white boudin, there is also red boudin. YUM does it smell good too!

Yummy! I ate some last Friday.. I ordered 3 lbs from Kitchen Cajun Chef here in Sulphur But it doesn't taste as good as one I went to in New Iberia.. They tasted better than here!!!!

FYI
A Cajun seven course meal consists of 1 pound of boudin
and a six-pack of beer.
A balanced diet is a six-pack in each hand.

heeeheee you coo-yon!

hmmmm....what a feast, Bud!

So lookee here...that there boudin is not just sausage? Has rice and onions and such inside with misc meats?

Shoe, this is a pretty good overview:http://www.greatcajuncooking.com/tips/boudin.php3

Bud, now my idea of a well balanced diet is a 50#sack of crawfish, corn, potatoes,garlic, onions, bell pepper and celery...King Cake for after and a nice cold Barqs Root Beer ..

Let me get my atlas I'm headin south,Bud I think I'll stick with your diet,I'll sneak over to Lisa' for the sides,LOL,Don't sound to bad does it Shoe want me to slide over an pick ya up?

rootdocter, just curious..how did you cook your boudin? We put a little bit of water in a skillet and then cover it and let it simmer until it is cooked.

Wow!...that stufff sounds delish to me! Reckon I better go get me some casings! (Wonder how long it lasts? Wonder if it can be froze? Wonder how to hide it from people?)

Now, lookee here...Lisa's balanced meal sho 'nuff sound good to me too! Every dang ingredient! Seems to me ya'll Cajuns need to offer up a buffet for us all sometime! We can do it all! (Wonder if K and H had some of that boudin and didn't even know about it?)

I'll meet ya at the La border, Root! I'll bring some cowpeas and corn pone and you can fill in the gap w/something from your area!

It just happened that guys at the garage had brought it up that morning,I just couldn't remember the name,one guy said to cook it make sure to use tinfoil with it because the casing splits,so I tossed it on the grill with foil,The ones I had were twisted short like brats,I haven't noticed any plumbing problems,LOL,guess it takes awhile to slow my arteries.LOL,I'm ready for more!

Shoe soon as I get this load of Rabbit beans out of the back of the truck,I'll fire it you and come get ya!HMMM from Kc it would have to be Ribs,I'll run down and pick up a heifer so we can do ribs and we just might have enough lips an things left over to fill some of them casings your bringing,If not we'll fire up the pee-row and gig us some frogs!I've got a mighty big hankering for some corn on the cob,want to try out this 10gl steamer I just got,I was hopin you'd say you got that landyacht on Ebay an we could toss ole bessie in the back of it.:)

A ten gal steamer? zowie! Heck, if we're goin to La, Lisa and Bud can fill it full of clams, eerrsters and what not.

Hah..that "land yacht" sure would be something to have, eh? (I got a piece of a trailer that might haul that heifer for now, tho!) And if we're going frog giggin', we better get Mystic...she's a gigger from way back (and knows how to fry em up, too!)

Oh, now, that changes the picture totally! I want to help with the frogs, and I can be a great taster. I'll even clean them and bread them and toss them in the pan. Or does someone else want them grilled? Great veggies you got on the way, too, so I can just toss together a WOP salad. Maybe Wintermoor can help out with a good wine. I read that it keeps your arteries unclogged. In moderation, of course. And some good pecan pralines for munching on later while we sip some strong black coffee. Anybody caught any bream lately? I will clean them and fry them up if you have any. What a lovely platter it makes, all that crisp fish and frogs. Hey, Shoe, I'll race you to the La. border, and you can throw your stuff into the back of this old Lincoln I drive. Bring your guitfiddle. I just know there will be music down there on the bayou.

Well I declare I heard my name with all this good food, I am hitch hicking with anybody headed that way. Ok Aimee we got a deal I will gig them and you can clean them and we both will cook them how will that be? lol The cleaning I never liked anyway. But it is fun seeing them hop around in the skillet! (shoe you giving away all my secrets?) lol

I am not going to dare tell yall what I just ate *burp*....

Ok Lisa Lou spill it!

Do tell, please!

All this food talk has me ready to fire up the GMC and head for the border,since it is still half full of rabbit manure,I'll be the one leaving the drops for all to follow,it sure is fun to see them BMWs get in the other lane quick when they realise whats comin out of the back,LOL,and I notice Bikes don't follow to close either,Aimee toss my frog legs on the grill please,Mystic keep your thumb way high my eyesight ain't what it useta be!Bud fill the cooler!

Root how about I just jump put in front of ya? You wouldn't hit me would ya?

Aiiiiieeeeeee! A cajun gathering is like no other in the world. (That oughta be enough to make you throw your hat in the creek!)

45lbs of boiled crawfish & blueberry king cake *evil grin*

ok Lisa did little ole you eat that by your lonesome? ( and you didn't share) for shame !

How much of those 45lbs are actually edible? By your average joe like Howie or me, I mean, LOL!

THAT DOES IT! Next roundup is in Looweezyanna!!

DANG! Ya'll having a party without me!! Round up in LA>..OK I go for that....but....could we PLEASE have TATERS in the boudin...instead of RICE?????? Jo

PO PO JO!....
(you can have taters on the side! I'll bring em, and fry em up...country fried taters, with onions).
