Andouilette - nice! Not.
Discussion
Just back from a European road trip, trying to eat the 'local' food everywhere we went, so wurst in Germany, pasta in Italy, etc. And in France I tried Andouilette 'avec sa moutarde'. Explanation here for those who haven't heard of it: http://unclestinky.wordpress.com/2008/01/14/andoui...
I knew it was made of offal. But I swear to God, it looked (and smelt) like it had already been 'passed' by a Frenchman.
Has anyone else tried this stuff? Or, less likely, liked it?

My OH ordered this last year in rural France in a moment of bravery (well, to be honest we had no idea what it was). The smell was incredibly awful and my, how I giggled as I enjoyed my pork in cider with some local cheese dish, while he gagged and manfully tried to force it down. We still chortle over it.
You bunch of absolute pussies.
A lot of cheese smells like s
t too, doesn't stop it being good to eat.
Andouilette is extremely tasty and has a fantastic (bizarre) texture. Well worth a try.
If the smell offends too much, barbecue it and the smell is overpowered with the smoke

I've eaten tête de veau which is essentially calves head. Although in actual fact, it's basically calves face with the tongue.
Whilst it didn't make me sick, I didn't enjoy it even slightly. Far to gelatinous.
It's just a pate - doesnt really make much difference where the meat comes from IMOWhilst it didn't make me sick, I didn't enjoy it even slightly. Far to gelatinous.
Like all pates, there are good ones and bad ones, and only a small portion of that is what the meat is, 95% is how it's made
