Veillon's Inside
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 happend to the glory days?
Veillon's Philly
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 anthing 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 banner 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 crips and sealed around the interior ingridients like a vacume pack.
Meat/Rice Ratio: More rice than meat, perhaps a 65/35 ratio.
Spices: Medium
Texture
: Whole grains and mashed grains comingle 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 ingridients.  
Comments:  The fine women working at Veillon's are as nice as nice can get.
