Muffaletta and boudin for lunch from Cannatella’s on Government. The deli guy asked me if I wanted my muff pressed or traditional (room temp) and I went with pressed, but next time I think I’ll wait until I get back to the house and use my panini press instead. Wanted to check out their boudin because I’m planning on doing some boudin and pepperjack taco’s this weekend and I needed to see if theirs measured up. It does, and I’m pretty excited to see how the combo of this boudin, pepperjack cheese, corn tortillas, pico de gallo, and extra cilantro works out. I’ve got a chipotle aioli at the house I can throw on as well. This muff really made me miss the Library on Chimes Street which had the best muffaletta I’ve ever had anywhere. And this visit also made me think how rare it is in BR to find someone selling links of hot boudin, You’d think it would be more readily available, but Jerry Lee’s is the only other place I can think of where you can walk in and walk right back out with hot boudin.
Update: The boudin and pico combo was good. Makes sense. Boudin is pork and rice, not strange taco additions at all. Of course I had leftover tortillas and pico so that led to blackened catfish tacos the next day.
