Luke's Specialty Meats
Location: 209 Tate Cove Road, Ville Platte, LA
Ambiance: An unexpected meat market in a former gas station/convenience store.  One might classify the ambiance here as functional.  They sell a variety of grocery items, some liquor, spices and such, and there is a medium sized meat case and butcher area in the back.
OVERALL RATING: C-
THE BOUDIN

Cost: $2.49 lb.
Presentation:
At the meat counter a cherubic young man will serve up your link in a pieces of butcher paper.
Casing: Definetly on the chewy side of the spectrum.
Rice/Meat Ratio: More meat (if liver counts as meat) than rice.  Where is the rice?
Texture:  A conglomeration of meaty, grayish, material.  A texture unlike any other.  The only way to describe it is to compare it to liverwurst:  It approaches the texture of liverwurst.
Spice: Mild
Overall Taste: If you like liver then this is the link for you.  A sweet livery taste permeates every morsel. If this sounds good to you then, well, then we have different pallets.
Comments: Momma always said, “if you can't say anything good, then don't say anything at all.”
