== How is it cooked? ==

:This is not the place for recipes for Boudin. [[WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE|Wikipedia is not for instruction manuals]], which includes recipes.

:However, recipes could certainly be added to the [[wikibooks:Cookbook|Cookbook on wikipedia's sister project wikibooks]] and a link to the recipe there be added to this page. --[[User:David Edgar|David Edgar]] 18:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

 

== Boudin noir vs. Boudin rouge ==

I am a local, and I have never heard of boudin rouge. I think somebody is trying to add something to the market that is not there. There is normal boudin, and boudin noir. the noir cannot be sold due to the blood. Illegal to sell blood products in the US.

==Pronunciation?==

 

You are right, it's certainly not pronounced like that in France or Belgium. [[User:Tomixdf|Tomixdf]] ([[User talk:Tomixdf|talk]]) 22:58, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 

== Is there a sausage with rice? ==

 

Clearing the table here, while I favour [[India Pale Ale|IPA]] as a beer, as an aid to navigating pronunciation [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]] is a sinker. According to Calvin Trillin (''Feeding a Yen'', New York, Random House, 2003; p. 90), it's pronounced "Boo-DAN" in Louisiana, and is often eaten "squeezed hot into the mouth from a sausage casing", with the casing frequently discarded. Very interesting book. [[User:Modal Jig|Modal Jig]] ([[User talk:Modal Jig|talk]]) 15:07, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

 

== ''Making boudin'' ==

Part of the folklore of boudin is the unhappy face said to be on the maker of the stuff. It is a common saying in Quebec that if a child is sorely pouting he is ''making boudin''. I'd document and add this, but it seems just a bit off the main topic, but it did seem worth adding to the notes.

 

Under the "Types" section, the following is listed:

 

In general, I find this part to be a bit unencyclopedic. I'm not sure exactly how to clean up some of the language, like "a flavor you won't find in many places," or "for those looking to cut down on white rice intake." But by far the worst is "You will be surprised to find out," which I feel can remove all together. I think the other two bits could be changed to something like, "a somewhat uncommon preparation," instead of "a flavor you won't find in many places," or "for people who wish to decrease white rice consumption," instead of "for those looking to cut down on white rice intake." I'm not sure about the rephrasings, maybe someone can offer some suggestions? But the "You will be surprised to find out" has got to go. I'll wait a few days for any objections, but then I'm deleting it. [[User:Kronos o|Kronos o]] ([[User talk:Kronos o|talk]]) 10:00, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
