Ragin, what are some of your favorite places for boudin? I just dont understand where you are coming across such tough rubbery casings.
My go-to is Boudin King in Crowley. (Jennings as well) In BR, Jerry Lee's. My favorite is Sonnier's in Lake Charles. However, I have eaten all the Boudin offerings at the cook-off in Lafayette in 2008 and 2009. So that is roughly 20 entries each year.
Someone earlier mentioned thinner casings coming from oilier boudin. I do think that may contribute to the casing texture.

I've ate all the ones you have mentioned and haven't found any to have an overly chewy casing...

I make mine without casings. Instead, just before you would cse it, just make it into a patty. Freeze them. Take out a patty or two at a time, toss in a pan and presto, Boudin patties.
Last batch came out not as firm as I like. Still good, but too much liquid was added back when mixing.

Boudin King is like rubber.. Do you have chainsaw teeth? You could have sex with a crack whore with thier casing and not be worried.

I'm from Lafayette and have eaten boudin all my life, I've never heard of anyone eating the casing and have never seen anyone do it. I guess if you got a dry link you could do it but most of the time I would imagine it being kind of difficult to eat the casing while it's fresh.

I'm sorry but gonna have to call bullshite on anyone that says they have never seen or heard of anyone eating the casing.

You'd be wrong. 100% swear I never heard of anyone eating the casing until I moved to Baton Rouge @ 21 years of age.

I've been talking to friend from Lake Charles to Houma since yesterday and every person I've talked to says that most people they know eat the casing so it cant be a rare occurrence ....

I know it happens I just dont understand why people think that most people eat the casings. It doesnt make sense. Read any info on boudin and it states that you dont eat the casing.
Look even someone from Austin gets it.

I really find it hilarious that people somehow think in this thread that its manly to shove 6 inches of meat in your mouth and then swallow the condom.
The bottom line is the casing sucks for most boudin that is steams and is barely edible. Eat what tastes good.

you'll only make the mistake of eating it like sausage once. The casing is much thicker and chewier than the kind used on andouille and other sliceable links. Trying to choke it down can be a bit like gnawing on a balloon.

Discarding the casing was favored by 117 voters, while 86 boudin fans claimed they liked their casing on.

So you are also one of the people that think you are a man for eating a meat stuffed condom?
Pierre???

The bottom line is you don't know shite about boudin if you insist the majority of casing is chewy and inedible. Do you think boudin has to be cooked at home if you buy it from the grocer?

I will do better than that.
I will emphatically "insist" that the majority of STEAMED boudin is chewy and the casing is "barely" edible and has no flavor.

I would never buy it from a grocer to begin with.
Yet you stated this:

In refernce to a quote that included Boudin King in Crowley. Which has casing so tough that if I were airdropped in Tijuana I could survive on 2 pounds of thier boudin and a case of water and walk out without an STD. (and Im even related to the owners of that place)
But you know boudin better than I because you have a friend that lives in East Texas. I give.

Lighten up francis. Fact is, most people I know eat the casing. I'll agree that the casing may be chewy in some cases and non flavorful. If I get a big chewy piece I spit it out. Most times, it just goes down with the boudin.
I will not agree, however, to the opinion that it is as thick and chewy as a condom.
edited for clarification: I have never chewed on a condom.

In describing the boudin, as far as this—see, as far as what I believe it tastes and feels and looks like, I feel that my boudin has a good casing, as far as we cook it properly to where it—the casing does break, so that you can eat it and not have to just take the meat—the stuffing out of it.
Do some people eat your casing, or do they just push it out of the casing?
The majority of the people eat the casing. Sometimes when we—like on a Saturday when we sell—we cook so many pounds consecutively and it doesn’t get a chance to stay in that rice pot that we have here that we set it in, sometimes it does not get a chance to sit for a few minutes and the casing doesn’t break just right at times—right when it comes out of the pot it sits a few minutes, it breaks easier. So some will not eat the casing, but the majority of the people eat it.
I think I will take the word of the owner of T boys Slaughterhouse over some guy from Austin.....
