Does anyone know of where I might be able to locate any?

Mostly you have to get them frozen, but it's not difficult to defrost them and tie the sausage-shaped links into 3 or 4 sections.

I appreciate the effort either way. I suppose Boudin Balls just aren't popular enough around NYC where it seems the demand simply isn't there. Thats too bad :( Tue Oct 10 16:07:49 -0700 2006 1933928 15524 Foodaholic 1 1935365 You can order them online from Poche's in Breaux Bridge: http://www.pochesmarket.com/ Tue Oct 10 16:18:26 -0700 2006 1933211 41936 Envie 2 1935432 Envie: Thanks for the link. They seem to be less expensive than some of the other ones I've seen online. Some of the best I've ever had ever are from Tony's Seafood (http://www.tonyseafood.com/) in Baton Rouge, LA. The boudin balls can be ordered from there are somewhat spendy, but really worth it for the Southern cuisine novice. Tue Oct 10 16:38:12 -0700 2006 1935365 15524 Foodaholic
