Boudin King Cake
This recipe first started making its rounds on the internet about five years ago and to put it simply, at a party or function, it's a show stopper. Unless someone at the party is roasting a whole pig in a hole in the ground or your drunk uncle is chasing the soon to be fried chicken around with a hatchet, I promise this will be the most talked about dish at the get-together.

King Cake
Now forever linked with Mardi Gras (at least in the south), the King Cake's history goes back a good ways. The name derives from the visit of the Magi to the infant Christ which is celebrated on the Epiphany, January 6th. This marks the end of the twelve days of Christmas and begins what we celebrate now as the Mardi Gras season which extends to Fat Tuesday and of course the beginning of Lent.
