I can't imagine too many folks in the Midwest jumping at the opportunity to eat raw kibby.<br /><br />I also like your observation about Cajun quickie-marts; I wonder if the Middle Easterners have just not penetrated the market out there in Acadiana! I know there are a few in Lafayette, but I bet the Lebanese population is in short supply in a town like Bunkie (which, amazingly, I have actually visited).

I get my boudin from Jerry Lee's QuikShop, a little Circle K-esque deal without the gas, which is known as some of the best boudin you can get in Baton Rouge. A friend commented that it was pretty good, almost as good as the boudin you get from yet another gas station in Bunkie (the smallest of the small Cajun towns...)Erica Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845989484118912291noreply@blogger.com
