What does BOUDIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sausage of French origin, either a soft blood sausage or the spicy rice sausage of Louisiana.
In France boudin noir is made with pig's blood, while boudin blanc is a pale, delicate sausage of white meat and milk. Cajun cooks in Louisiana changed the idea into a peppery mix of pork and rice stuffed into a casing, eaten hot from gas stations and smokehouses. Geologists borrowed the word too, for a sausage-shaped lump of rock formed when a layer is stretched and broken during folding.
