Doew the bottle give any indicaton of where that "Shaoxing" wine is made? I've never seen anything like that and their website gives no information. I do see from your bottle that it's salted. Never a good sign.

Yeah And I've never heard that pronunciation anywhere but America. They are 180 degrees wrong.

Almost. Boudin is indeed French but only refers to the two specific sausages you mention: boudin noir which is a blood sausage from the Champagne region; and boudin blanc from Brittany and Normandy and which is made from white meats and milk.

I know nothing about the Amish, but suspect theirs is related to.the Louisiana version.

Coincidentally, I came across this today. https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/food-drink/experts-say-storing-potatoes-one-36556687
