Title: ***Official Scott, La Boudin Festiful Thread*** Post by: 2Stater on April 13, 2015, 06:55:34 PM (http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y401/gkconn52/Boudin_zpsjnqfzppf.png)
Wow! What can I say, there were literally 10's of people at the Scott, La Boudin Festival. :lol2: The threatening weather kept people at bay, but it never rained while we were there; the only time it didn't rain. The pic above is of the dance floor in front of the main stage. Horace Trahan (pronounced Traw-hawn) and the Ossun Express are playing their upbeat Zydeco music for the crowd. The few people in attendance were having a good time. We didn't stay to see them, but the culmination of the festival was a performance by Wayne Toups, a local favorite and another Zydeco music professional. My SIL told me that Toups was touring in Europe and got busted for possession of Cocaine. Local gossip had it that the City government of Scott sent gov't funds to bail him out in exchange for him doing a certain number of performances per year, in Scott, of which Scott receives the proceeds. You gotta love Louisiana politics. I sampled the boudin balls, smoked boudin link, and of course, red beans and rice. Mrs 2 enjoyed the red beans & rice and a funnel cake. It was a well planned day on our part, as we left in time to catch the final round of the Masters. And a great Masters it was. Kudos to Mr. Spieth. :worship: Title: Re: ***Official Scott, La Boudin Festiful Thread*** Post by: Chechem on April 13, 2015, 07:01:15 PM (https://damonrichard.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/img_3540.jpg)
Did they have any 'boudin-stuffed beignets'? Looks awful. But I'd like either one separately. :P Title: Re: ***Official Scott, La Boudin Festiful Thread*** Post by: 2Stater on April 13, 2015, 07:12:14 PM (https://damonrichard.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/img_3540.jpg) Did they have any 'boudin-stuffed beignets'?

Crawfish-boudin balls... Joke there somewhere. :tinfoil: Title: Re: ***Official Scott, La Boudin Festiful Thread*** Post by: 2Stater on April 13, 2015, 07:25:14 PM (https://damonrichard.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/img_3540.jpg) Did they have any 'boudin-stuffed beignets'?

I've got 5 more lbs to go (plus whatever I gained over the weekend). :lol2: Title: Re: ***Official Scott, La Boudin Festiful Thread*** Post by: ricky023 on April 13, 2015, 10:12:04 PM You know Dottie & I lived in New Iberia in 1992 when Hurricane Andrew came through.

LF and I visited the McIlhenny Company and explored Avery Island when the egrets were nesting. Beautiful area.

Maybe I should have been more direct. Cajuns can make boudin. Others can't. Don't settle for less than the real thing. Translated for Ricky: "Don't buy grits in Minnesota."
