Langenstein's sausage is made by Marciante's in Chalmette, which seems to some who study these things to be the best commercial sausage maker around. A friend of my fiancee brought several pounds of their green onion sausage to a tailgating at City park before Tulane's homecoming game, grileld and slatherd ith Cattleman's BBQ sauce they succeeding in knocking us out.

I haven't tried it--don't know if it is housemade--but it certainly sounds interesting. Several brands of boudin are distributed in the GNO area, including the ubiquitous LeBlanc's (kinda boring, mostly rice). Of course, to get really, really good boudin, you will have to travel west from New Orleans. If you're truly interested in boudin, try to find a copy of the "Boudin Trail" brochure often distributed at tourist info centers in Acadiana...perhaps a web version is out there? It's a nice list of meat markets/stores/bars that produce their own boudin. Mon Feb 02 09:48:13 -0800 2004 690547 0 Hungry Celeste 3 690566 Here 'tis.
