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 happend 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
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.
