  This place is well stocked and ready to go. Bring a cooler and load up. Next time I'll be sure to try the smoked boudin. You should too.   |
Ambiance:
A delightful meat shop/butcher block not too far from Baton Rouge.
The freezer cases are filled with a wide assortment of
tantalizing meats and prepared dishes from gumbo to spaghetti sauce,
shrimp stuffed mushrooms, and hot tamales. They even have an
extensive selection of party trays. Location: 7251 Hwy 1 South, Addis, Louisiana 70710 (there is also a St. Francisville location) The Boudin
Price: $3.19 lb Presentation: The link is cut into pieces, wrapped in butcher paper, and readied for the eating. Casing: A crisp and tight casing. Meat/Rice Ratio: More rice than meat? Perhaps. It is a close 50/50 ratio for sure. Texture: A dryish filling of pulverized meat and rice. Spice: Mild in the heat department. Overall Flavor: The flavor of this link includes a noted hint of liver. With small bits of green onion and a pulverized interior, the dry filling offers a significantly salacious sensation to your senses. It is darn good and darn satisfying. Would I serve it to my momma? Yes. Comments: According to the Benoit family, if they can't eat it at home they will not sell it. That is certainly a good approach to the food business and there are others that could follow that bit of wisdom. You may have to put in a special order for their famous "Hock and Cock Stew." Smoking over 1,000 pounds of meat per day keep them plenty busy.
