I tried boudin noir a couple of times in Martinique whilst on a trip exploring rum distilleries

"Moister" is an understatement for that Creole version, which for all I know might be entirely different from the version you mention, I haven't had it in France-proper, the creole one was much smaller than ours, barely solid inside the casing, slightly "oozy" and the colour was like a dark beige.
But delicious nonetheless, once you'd realised that it was a similar but different dish from our black pudding.
(*) Fabulous holiday, that was.
Memories of sitting in the shade sipping a 'ti punch and watching black hummingbirds visiting blossoms on the tree beyond the veranda.
