What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Think that is from a medical book 📚?

Where I am there is no such thing as bad boudin.  Whenever I can find it, it is great.

Looks fantastic Mickey. Love the char on the boudin!

Why does the "No MSG" symbol have a line thru it, but the "Gluten-free" symbol doesn't?

Generic labeling standards. There’s a whole boatload of acceptable symbols, much like those crazy ones on your laundry tags.

While passing thru Lafayette, look up Bourque’s. Not on the interstate, worth the detour. Stuffed chickens, rice dressing mix and boudin all worth your while

will do. Lafayette is the middle of our trip from the middle of Texas to the Panhandle of Florida. So we spend the night each way mostly at the Drury Inn. 400 miles drive is all i want in a day anymore. Plus they take our Poodle.

“GF” is meant to indicate that it’s Gluten-Free. Hence, no oblique line. GF, with a line through it , might actually indicate that it’s not gluten-free. 

“MSG”,  with the oblique line through it, together, indicates “No MSG”. 

If you want to get nerdy about it, I believe international convention is a red circle, white background, with the line running from top left, to bottom right. I think the line is supposed to be less thick/bold than the circle. But, people take liberties. 

I’ll see myself out , now.

Just made a road trip to visit Judy and Leroy in Covington.
I can’t believe how many places have popped up selling Boudin and Cracklens…
We tried Don’s again as a quick stop and we’re disappointed again compared to The Best Stop.

The Best Stop is terrific. Better have a cooler handy, because there's so much you want to bring back home!

Hope The Chickens are doing well. I miss them.

Both are doing well. We had a great visit but another 2 days would have been great. 

Sure miss seeing all our egghead friends.

I would have said just that had you not replied.

Time to make more Boudin! ( probably with msg )

nolaegghead

I've made boudin a few times too.  One of the few sausages where the meat is cooked before grinding/stuffing.  Kind of fun to make.
