 Veillon's we hardly knew yee.  The meat case may have been proud and strong back in the day, but it now includes pre-packaged bologna alongside a half-full carton of eggs. Ah, what happened to the glory days?  This is where the boudin cooking action takes place. |
Ambiance: This
place looks like it has been around for quite some time. The
addition of a large covered gas station to the front does not add
anything to the overall look: It may even detract from it. I
suspect the fact that both sides of the store have letters missing from
the sign is an indication of things to come. Location: Hwy 44 and Hwy 933, Galvez, LA (near Gonzales) The Boudin
Price: $3.99 lb. Presentation: Wraped in foil. This seems to be the "Gonzales way." Casing: Very crisp and sealed around the interior ingredients like a vacuum pack. Meat/Rice Ratio: More rice than meat, perhaps a 65/35 ratio. Spices: Medium Texture: Whole grains and mashed grains co-mingle with plenty of green onion and pork and pork liver. It is on the dry side, but not at all too dry. Overall Flavor: There is a liver taste, but it is not overpowering. The link has a nice color too, showing off the melding of all the ingredients. Comments: The fine women working at Veillon's are as nice as nice can get.    |
