(Pensacola, FL)
| Ambiance:
A nice new store surrounded by gently swaying palm trees. You're
not in bayou country, but plenty of delightful culinary concoctions
from the heart of Cajun Country can be found inside this little gem of
a place. Location: 690 E. Heinberg Street, Pensacola, FL 32502    |
The Boudin
Price: $3.99 lb Presentation: Vacuum packed and frozen solid. Casing: Depends on how you prepare it. A medium thick casing. Meat/Rice Ratio: A balanced combo of rice and meat, tending toward the rice. Texture: The rice is a bit undercooked, but overall it serves adequately as the base for a pleasingly tight texture. Spice: Medium/Mild Overall Flavor: A really flavorful and satisfying link of boudin. Plenty of quality pork and plenty of tasty rice are balanced out with a thoughtful combination of spices. Comments: Who'd have thought that just off the white sand beaches of Pensacola, tucked off behind some chain restaurants was a delightful Cajun specialty meat store. They offer a whole range of products too, from gumbo and boudin balls to cannoli. The crawfish boudin was also sampled and stood out as a particularly flavorful and pleasant choice.
