    Having watched every episode of prime time, there's something special about the reactions in this one compared to all the others. You can tell that Ben and Brent are really, really into these Boudin and how full of admiration they are for another set of people equally obsessed by produce and craft as they are.
    Glad they've moved away slowly from brisket Ep, steak ep, burger ep etc to a really wide gamut of culinary adventure.
    Equal favourite UA-cam series with Jacob Geller's beautiful video game retrospectives.

    My brother makes Boudin Balls. Same ingredients used to make the Boudin filling, but you let it cool in the fridge overnight. This makes it easier for you to roll the filling into balls the size of golf balls. Then roll them in an egg-wash with Panko Breading and deep fry them. Flavorful inside with the crisp and crunchy breading on the outside. Perfect food for a football game at home.

    Hey new to New Orleans transplant butcher shop people, don’t tell people that we in the greater New Orleans area eat boudin with pickles and mustard like those frou-frou restaurants downtown do, because we don’t and you’re embarrassing us in front of the rest of south Louisiana. Ya buy a pound or two or three from the local meat market (no we don’t have to drive three hours to Scott cuz we have like 10 different places to get it in our area) and eat it by the link by itself either from the hood of your car, tailgate of your truck, inside your vehicle on the way home or if you’re lucky enough to make it home with some, in your house maybe with some crackers or a slice of bread and a beer, just maybe because ya might just finish them off solo dolo. And never with pickles or mustard. Remember that.

    Thanks for a great video and the interest of the restaurant owners to learn more about boudin. When asked how to eat it, I really didn't like your recommendation of not eating the casing and steaming it in a bag. The casing is great if you warm it back up correctly. I microwave briefly and then put in an air fryer/convection oven to crisp the casing, making it easier to bite into and eat the casing. Another alternative, which is my favorite, is to rewarm the boudin on a BBQ pit to again achieve an almost crispy casing the just snaps when bitten into to get into the delectable stuffing. I eat boudin just by itself - no sides needed. I don't eat it with a pickle! Believe it or not, it pairs well with fried eggs in the morning! Thanks for the video!

    Congrats, love the vídeo (I want to try that!!!)
    Boudin is french (and New Orleans as that influence).
    As a European, I find interesting to see how this cultural pieces evolve, translate and gain a new context in the US.
    As a general rule, the food is not as "perverse" as here (but it's definitely more spicy).
    The Boudin that I'm used to, is made with rice and cooked blood, (it's black and has a soft consistency). Has a vinegarish taste with a bit of cummins.
    In Bretagne - France, they make a cold salad with peas, onions, a bit of garlic, fresh herbs, pickles, dress up with olive oil.
    Cheers from Lisbon- Portugal

    After watching this video no fewer that 30x I took notes and wrote out this recipe... would love any and all insight and notes:
    Ingredients:
    20 lbs Pork Shoulder (up to 60/40 Protein/Fat… ideal)
    5 lbs Chicken Liver
    3 Onion
    4 Celery
    2 Bell pepper (green)
    3 poblano pepper
    6 Jalapeño Pepper
    10 Cloves of Garlic
    Cut and chop everything into 2-3” pieces and put into a sealable container.
    Spice blend:
    250g Salt
    150g Black Pepper
    60g Cayenne
    70G Paprika
    35g White pepper
    35g Dried thyme
    ---g Pink Salt (for commercial preservation)
    Braise, drain and reserve all fat/liquids.
    Mix Ingredient and fully incorporate with meat and vegetables and seal. Refrigerate for 8-24 hours. Barely cover ingredient with water and bring to simmer, braising for up to 3.5-4 hours until meat can be easily smashed with spoon. Strain and reserve all liquid. Mix meat and vegetables for 4-5 minutes until meat shreds and soften vegetables are 70% incorporated into meat.
    Post braise/Pre stuff mix:
    25lbs Cooked Long grain rice
    8 stalks Fresh green onion
    1.5 cup Fresh Parsley
    5 Cloves Fresh Crushed Garlic
    Add green onions, parsley, garlic, half of the reserved liquid (fat first) and rice. Mix on slow until fulling incorporated but gently enough so that the rice doesn’t break down. It should barely hold its shape if formed into a loose ball or patty. Add reserve liquid accordingly. You are looking for a texture between pancake batter and thick cooked oatmeal. (You can eat this with a fork. You should eat this with a fork! TRY IT!)
    While hot you want to stuff into natural casing relying on the temperature of the boudin mix to partially set the casing. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow sausage to firm up a little.
    To serve:
    Warm by steaming for 5 minutes, boiling for 2 minutes or roasting for 3-4 minutes at 375° if you want crispy skin. Traditionally ate out of casing with a cold beer or served with coarse mustard and Bread & Butter pickles if roasted.

Salt draws moisture out but when there is absence of one thing it must be filled with another so when water is pulled out of the meat (called koshering) other ingredients are pushed in to replace it.
      I’m sure there is some enzyme transfer as well helping tenderizing but it’s more a flavor and texture thing.
      The only modification that I’ve done since last year was I completely cool the cooked pork/veg and then reheat it a second time. This allows the collagen to attach to proteins and makes it moist, sticky and when adding chilled and reheated collagen to the cooked rice it costs the rice vs being quickly absorbed to the rice. I did this for the texture of the finished sausage as I wanted the rice to hold up
      Slightly better.
      I hope that makes sense… (small phone big thumbs.)

    Buttered grits, take the boudin out of the case and pan fry it to crisp it up some, top the grits with the boudin, and add over easy or poached eggs on top. Best breakfast ever

    You could take the sausage when it is hot and do like a Corn Beef and Hash sort of breakfast thing. Looks great.

    Been married to a Cajun lady from Eunice for over fifty years, Every so often we drive from the Dallas area back to T-Boy's Boucherie in Mamou, Louisiana, and purchase thirty pounds of boudin. When we lived in Natchitoches, we often drove down to South Louisiana on boudin tasting tours--to find the best boudin. We even had boudin shipped from Johnson's Grocery in Eunice when I was a USAF pilot in Alaska. Man can not live by bread alone, he must have a link of boudin, too. It's that addictive. We use the oven to make the casing crispy, so we eat it, too. Pork liver! Pork liver!

      @@mikesmicroshop4385 Sorry, but pork liver is TRADITIONAL for boudin in South Louisiana. Anything else is pseudo boudin. But, it's like the little old lady's tale. "Each to his own taste," said the little old Cajun lady as she kissed her crawdad." Ole Mike must be a dang gum feller from up North? ;-)

      @@TheNolanWB Well like I said the idea of "Traditional" is subjective! The Lady that was making it with Chicken Livers said that the recipe was an OLD family recipe more than 3 generations old. That makes it Traditional for her family and they have been in the South Louisiana area for over 200 years at this point. So Sorry, but Traditional is not a concrete thing and like many local area Foods, many families have many different versions of the "Traditional" Recipe

      @@mikesmicroshop4385 Opinions are subjective, too. Everyone has an opinion like they have... :-D I probably had my first boudan before you were born. And, when I lived in Natchitoches, LA, I made many trips to South Louisiana to study, taste, and rate, the boudan made at many different top rated boucheries. Why not visit a few of the shops in South Louisiana and see just how many are making their boudin using chicken or "frog" livers. So, seems that pork liver must be traditional in most places...the norm. One person or one family using chicken livers in South Louisiana for 500 years does not make it traditional, it's just a families personal exception.

      @@mikesmicroshop4385 If you think about why this is made....chicken livers don't make any sense. It is a lot of work for a family to butcher a hog. Most times your neighbors or friends would come to help. You would be making boudin to use up the parts of the hog(s) that weren't used in other ways. Therefore, it would make more sense that traditionally it has been made with the hog's liver. I doubt they were also butchering 30 chickens while butchering their hog. It just didn't work that way. Even today most butcher shops that butcher hogs/beef do not also butcher chickens.
