hahaha...I've had it, and yep, it's tasty. This was a fun one. I've got some family from Louisiana...close to Baton Rouge. A buddy of mine works in the gulf down there and I've thought about joining him. Heck, I'd drive down just for the boudan.

hahaha, I would NOT want to have to be around this guy trying to understand his accent. I never had it fried, but it's gotta be better than what I eat every thanksgiving!!! Does it have KFC seasoning on it?
