You can find it in Ville Platte at The Pig Stand (not certain if it is always on the menu or an occasional special). Aside form it being stuffed stomach it should not be compared with haggis - ponce has an enjoyable flavor and texture when prepared right while haggis is difficult to tolerate much less enjoy. I do agree with #13 - Jim - I hate that I can't get it in the NOLA area & have to drive to Ville Platte for that and real Cajun smoked sausage (nothing like the crud they call "Cajun" made by Oscar Mayer and such). Some eat to live - in Acadiana we live to eat. With my family being from Evangeline Parish I know the love of ponce.

You can boil it in vinegar and it's still ponce, though you may not wnat to endure the smell. Many folks eat it that way. Once you stuff it, it's chaudin no matter if you cook it or smoke it.

The bacteria from the lining of the stomach gives the meat a unique texture and flavor when it is smoked. Served over rice it beats all other Cajun dishes hands down. I just wish I could get it here in N.O. as easy as it is to get in Ville Platte. Smoked ponce is one of the best Cajun foods there is to be had.

Can't wait to get it home and cook it! My recollection of last year's was that it wasn't all that greasy. We just purchased the wonderful pounce made by Redlich’s in Eunice.
