I ordered them once in a restaurant - or thought I did; got my French mixed up and accidentally ordered andouillette instead! 🤮 Poor you, andouillette is certainly an acquired taste (or rather smell!), I can eat most things but I find them difficult .I think someone who ordered andouillette and ended up with escargot would have been far happier. You must try them Gareth, next time you are in France buy some from the frozen food section of Super U. Edited January 15 by colinschandler 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BobCrox Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Andouillette Is best smoked. I will eat it out of politeness with an apero with my french neighbours but would never buy it. I quite like grasshoppers in Mexico. Cobra in Thailand I won't be trying again, too many bones. I have stopped eating frogs legs for environmental reasons. I also wouldn't eat dolphin billtong again but wouldn't say no to ostrich billtong. A few christmases ago Lidl were selling frozen reindeer which I thought was a bit tactless.

To be fair, given where the unsmoked version sits in the appeal stakes, and that it is hard to conceive of it being made less appealing from that position, this does not necessarily add to an understanding of its modes of consumption! 😁 Link to post Share on other sites

Very reminiscent to walking into one of the rural "footprint" toilets! Link to post Share on other sites

Great! 🤣 I guess we will just have to wait until Francois the patron of "Charcuterie des Entrailles" develops a vegan version - about as much chance as IanN being able to buy and get his vegan black pudding past the douanes!
