Dinner last night!

My wife took bell peppers, okra, tomatoes, scallions, and slices of andouille sausages and made a wonderful dish. Fortunately it was a bit too spicy for everyone but me because of the type of andouille she used. They ate some but not much. I had 2 large servings. It was wonderful.

There were leftovers. Guess what I'm having tonight!

Crikey - how did you get a Breton sausage in Iowa?!!! They come from where I live in France! Tell me - I'm fascinated! Sure it wasn't an andouillette? I think they can sometimes be a little spicy but there are 2 types of andouille that I know of and neither are spicy. Is it a Louisiana thing?

[Jeanied]

Andouille are a Cajun thing also - and they do love spice

Phew! the andouillette that Patch is talking about is disgusting - a sort of tripe sausage that smells awful. The locals seem to love it but, for the life of me, I can't think why.

Got intrigued and goggled this as I love french sausages! The andouillette look awful!

Interested to find "andouille" is also used to insult someone by inferring they are an imbecile!!!

[Patchninja]

Yes, but it's not a "bad" insult! There are far worse. Monsieur P loves an andouillette. I can't eat it, but that said I love andouille (here it's mostly eaten cold in thin slices with a glass of something nice) and that's nasty things too. Intestins! eeeewwwwww. But it's so good. I just don't look closely when I eat it hahaha.
