Actually neither. So this is a dish that I haven't found other than from my area in Louisiana. Story has it, originally the dish would not have contained the smoke sausage I added, because it began as a lenten dish for those who could afford seafood during lent (alot of catholics in this area)... So instead of meat they would poach eggs in it as a protein to supplement with the red bean. This may not be the traditional way of cooking it, but the smoked sausage does add a bit more to the dish imo
