As I understand it, boudin rouge is the Louisiana version of the French boudin noir, both use blood sausage. Both sound gross to me.

This. 100%. I ate spicy pigs ears in Atlanta recently. I like trying new foods and I have had some outstanding things. This wasn't one of them. The flavor was amazing honestly, but the consistency was so chewy that I felt like I could have blown a bubble with it. Having a voracious appetite, I did finish the plate.
Cow marrow in France is a delicacy, it’s like a butter that you spread on bread. Not bad, although odd to dig out of the bone.
Okay I have a question for any law enforcement or lawyer types. I'm in Alabama and I'm passing a police car and he gets me for failure to signal. And there's literally no way that occurred. One, I recognized it was a police car and who in their right mind would make that mistake? Two, I literally always signal. I signal to go in my driveway in my neighborhood. I never ever make a lane change without signaling. But it feels like I have absolutely no leg to stand on here even though there is literally no way this occurred.
Is there dashboard video? File a Brady motion for exculpatory evidence; move to dismiss and for sanctions for failure to comply when they don’t produce it; and bring a court reporter to make an official record. Then if needed, cross-examine the officer on his lying, cheating, thieving ways until he cries on the witness stand.
(Just kidding, you’re screwed.)
I said to him that I always signal and he responded that I did not on this occasion. From that point on I approached him like he was Sheriff Little of Chickasaw County and I was going to end up with a busted out tail light if I didn't keep my mouth shut. I'm going to be honest here, he didn't seem like he would be all that fun at parties.
You’re in a tough spot. If you contest it, you likely have to take a day off to go back there on the court date. Then there will be a trial where you testify, the local cop testifies, and the local judge likely believes the local cop. It sounds like a simple “he said/she said” with no third party witnesses, and you ain’t from around there.
You may be able to call the court and ask who the prosecutor/solicitor is, and then call them to see if you can make a deal. Of course, anything you say can and will be used against you. But you may be able to enter a nolo contendere (“no contest” — not an admission of guilt but not contesting the charge) and pay a reduced fine to resolve.
I hate to give the real answer — hire a local lawyer if you want to fight it — but that is the best (yet most expensive) answer. The key word there is local. But that likely costs more than the ticket.
Again, you’re in a tough spot.
I filed the documents with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts today to make my theater company an LLC.
