Mardi Gras season is officially here. It started today, January 6th and concludes on March 4th, 2025.
Louisiana has a lot to celebrate, if for no other reason that we can't let the terrorists win. If we keep celebrating, they lose.
King Cake is a Mardi Gras tradition, and lots of bakers put their own twist on it. Some are stuffing the cake with things you might not expect, like boudin.
Check out Gerald Gruening, who ordered a boudin King Cake topped with jalapenos, Steen's syrup, bacon bits, and spicy Blue Plate mayonnaise. It's a thing, I tell you.
I've been jonesing for some boudin, lately, and a real good boudin ship is just down the road, so I have no one to blame but myself.
Laissez les bon temps rouler.

Enjoy the King Cake!
If your boudin shop ships, please put a link up. My lifetime favorite is in Opelousas and they won't ship. Years ago I even offered to set it all up for them. (Long past skills) I've ordered from several places over the years and I'm still looking.
Boudin is food of the gods. Now you have me jonesing. Time to get on the interwebs and order some from the motherland. I use Don’s specialty meats in Lafayette/Carencro. Shipping is spendy, so I load up on other necessities like andouille and sausages. You just can’t get that stuff anywhere but Louisiana. What’s labeled boudin up here at Kroger has a disturbing color. The best comes from local shops down there.
