boudin
Louisiana rice sausage
Boudin is a type of sausage associated with Cajun and Creole cooking in Louisiana, typically made with pork, rice, and seasonings stuffed into a casing.
The most common variety is boudin blanc, a pale sausage that's often eaten by squeezing the filling from the casing.
Boudin noir, made with blood, resembles European blood sausages.
In France, boudin refers more broadly to blood sausage.
We stopped at a gas station in Lafayette for boudin.
