French boudin

French boudin is a type of traditional sausage made with various ingredients depending on the region. The most common varieties are boudin blanc (white sausage) made from pork with meat, fat, bread or milk, and spices, and boudin noir (black sausage) which includes pig's blood for a rich, savory flavor. Both are typically seasoned with herbs and spices, then encased in natural casings. Boudin is often cooked by baking, frying, or poaching, and served as part of cheese or charcuterie platters, or incorporated into various dishes, showcasing the French appreciation for flavorful, artisanal charcuterie.
