BOUDIN & CRACKLINS Express (  |
    |
Ambiance: This
clean establishment has the feel of a gift shop. They sell an
abundance of Cajun spices and packaged food products as well as some
cooking vessels along with a few hot food items and one freezer case
of frozen sausages, smoked meats, and such. Still, even though the
place is gift shoppe, they are using a 50 year old family recipe
for their boudin. Location: 3210 Grand Point Hwy, Henderson, LA (just north of the Intestate).
The Boudin
Price: $419 lb or $2.19 by
the link.Presentation: Ready to go in large warmers your link will be prepared by the kind and happy woman behind the counter (see photo). Casing: A thin and virtually unbreakable casing. Meat/Rice Ratio: More rice than meat in this lightly colored link. Texture: Wet and loose. Spice: HOT!!! Overall Flavor: The mushiness of the filing is offset by some crisp bits of onion (nice) and though rice plays a major role in the link's flavor, there is more meat than meets the eye. A satisfying link that is a little too heavy on the heat. Comments: There is another place just 75 yards away called the "Boudin Shop" (or Chicken on the Bayou) and they NEVER seem to be open. Thankfully Boudin & Cracklins Express have joined the boudin fray here in Henderson and locals and visitors alike will benefit. Give it a try. . . . . . oh, and they have a drive-through window for convenient boudinin'.    |
