brian Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Sure I like boudin blanc, but it's harder to find a boudin noir of distinction, a french or spanish preparation would be great. Any suggestions for a local restaurant serving it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Restaurant Eve had some "black sausage" on St. Paddy's day. Not on their regular menu though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delyn Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Much to the horror of my beloved spouse, Hannah, I am quite the fan of black pudding. But then with Irish parents that was inevitable.The best I've had locally is definitely the Morcilla "Bar La Esquina" at Jaleo.There's also the British Pantry in Aldie, VA. They have a decent little restaurant and store selling frozen black pudding amongst other things.If you do make it out to the store I also recommend the milk chocolate McVities Hob Nobs, possibly the most addictive biscuit / cookie in the world.

brian Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 The best I've had locally is definitely the Morcilla "Bar La Esquina" at Jaleo. Ah, now I remember having it at Jaleo. The quality of the sausage itself was good, but if it's the same dish I'm thinking of it was absolutely swimming in oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 You might try Eastern Market, the deli guys have a wide selection of sausage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogprince Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 a & h seafood market (and also spanish/portugeuse importer of products of distinction) in bethesda carries several types of morcilla as well as a dizzying amount of chorizos and, generally, enough spanish food to keep one transfixed for a while. ive had the jaleo morcilla many a time; 'tis a fine sausage and, never in my experiences, drowning in oil but rather bathing luxuriantly in a carmine-red tomato sauce exploding with garlic. a good thing in my opinion.

brr Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 yes they did - I was able to special request it about 10 days after Paddys day and it was delicious, served w/ foie gras - you could try asking for it i advnace the next time you go to Eve Being an Irish boy I love black (and white) pudding - breakfast isn't really breakfast without it another source for black pudding is www.foodireland.com - they will next day ship it to you in a cooler bag Restaurant Eve had some "black sausage" on St. Paddy's day. Not on their regular menu though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 If bees were mosquitos, they'd gather blood in their hive and the queen would make a boudin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) Are not black pudding and boudin noir/morcilla two different things? I seem to recall (Irish) black pudding having suet and starch as a significant component... Edited December 10, 2005 by jparrott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camille-Beau Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Tonight in the Tasting Room Yes, it made an appearance (new menu!) and it was AWESOME! Love the BN at Eve -- have had boudin noir in various places and many tend to be heavy and slightly gamey. Eve's is lighter in texture and perfectly spiced. The total dish is Boudin Noir topped with a fried quail egg and smoked ham-hock & truffle sauce. Really excellent. It was one of the courses at the James Beard House truffle dinner (more on that in the Eve thread tomorrow -- promise!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escoffier Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I realize it will be a chipper but any chance of having a regular supply of blood sausage? They are lovely with chips Best place for blood sausage is any good Korean grocery or restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weezy Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Check with Jamie Stachowski. He often has it at the Falls Church farmer's market, so I'm sure it's at his shop as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstar965 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Cool thanks....so googling shows the shop is in.....north of Georgetown?. P and 28th. Just a couple of blocks from the main commercial strip on M. I was just in yesterday and bought some sausages from the case on the left when you enter. I think I saw boudin noir but not sure. http://www.donrockwell.com/index.php?/topic/10593-stachowski-market-and-deli-28th-and-p-street-in-georgetown-featuring-jamie-stachowskis-charcuterie/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BklynBoy Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The butcher at Plaza Latina (next door to Taco Bamba) in Falls Church/Tysons makes very good morcilla along with about 6 varieties of chorizo. Balducci's also has frozen boudin noir (ask the butcher). Sometimes we like to do an English style fry up that would typically include a black pudding. I've used both the Balducci's and Plaza Latina as a source for that. The Balducci product is a bit finer ground/more refined while the morcilla is more robust with more piquant spicing. Of the two, I prefer the fresh morcilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
