THE BOUDIN
Price: $2.89
lb.
Presentation: A boudinlink first: A protective shell is formed around the link(s) with two Styrofoam rectangles and the shell is then wrapped in plastic. You can take it fishing with you and the water will never break through the seal.
Casing: Snappy.
Rice/Meat Ratio: Perhaps a smidgen more rice than meat.
Texture: You’ll find a lot of different textures in this link. Yeah, you might find a bit of fat and a bit of liver, but if that scares you then you shouldn't be eating boudin in the first place. Lots of green onion throughout and you can see the specks of red pepper sticking to the rice and meat with a delicious juice.
Spice: Hot and spicy
Overall Taste: A decidedly “rich” boudin flavor reminiscent of the way locals have been eating boudin for generations. The link’s flavor is enhanced with the use of NuNu's own secret Cajun seasoning blend and they don’t skimp on it. This link has it all going on.
Comments: You’ll find a new sign on the front of the store than the one pictured here. You’ll also be able to shop at a new location in the coming months. Broussard's . . . . er NuNu's . . . . . is expanding to Youngsville. And, based on what I saw of the new smoker they’re getting, you can expect some fabulous smoked meat products. Right now they do their own custom smoking in a smokehouse out back. "Dave" is NuNu's resident boudin craftsperson. Ask if he's around and he'll give you the lowdown on his current batch of links. |
