THE BOUDIN
Price: $2.99 lb.
Presentation: Pulled from a refrigerator case and heated in the microwave then wrapped in white butcher paper.
Casing: Kind of tough. Good for squeezing. Not so good for biting.
Rice/Meat Ratio: More rice than meat.
Texture: A dryish mash of rice surrounds small pieces of slow-cooked pork. The pork pieces are whole (intact) while the rice is roughly minced. The greens are hardly noticeable.
Spice: Mild
Overall Taste: Slightly bland and a little too dark.
Comments: Bergeron’s hours are not conducive to an “anytime” link fix. On Saturday they are only open til 2:00 (even on LSU game days!). Still, if you do find yourself in Port Allen, on your way to or from Baton Rouge, you might want to give them a shot. Heck the meat pies alone looked and smelled fantastic and they have a whole range of plate lunches. They’re certainly a better option than a flimsy fast-food burger. The cracklin were good, if a touch bland. |
