Southern Louisiana Ponce
Ponce is typical from Southern Louisiana as it is little
known outside the region and it's certainly a Cajun food tradition.
The southern Louisiana Ponce is a kind of sausage made by
fresh pork, spices, rice, and vegetables sewn up inside a
pig's stomach and baked or steamed for several hours. As the
stomach contracts, the mixture becomes taut like a sausage
and it is sliced and eaten cold or reheated. This meat can
be served fresh or smoked, depending on where in Louisiana
you are. Ponce is still mainly produced by a handful of producers
in Southwest Louisiana, and is a legendary local delicacy.
