Even if you are a certified foodie, you might not know about boudin, a specialty that is like manna to Cajun Louisianians.
It can be described as a pork-and-rice sausage, but that’s like describing pizza as flour, tomato and cheese. Boudin invites you to sit down, preferably in a local, no-nonsense joint, and bite in. And perhaps the best place to take that first bite is in the area around Lake Charles, which is rich in Cajun culture.
