Andouillettes are tripe sausages that are very popular around Northern France, Troyes, Lyon, Orleans and Tours.
You have probably heard the word tripe before, but do you know what it means. You might want to sit down and hold your nose! It is a cows second stomach, or any ruminant including cattle, sheep, deer, antelope, goat, ox, giraffes, and their relatives.
It was a food developed when people did not want to waste any part of an animal.
They can either be served hot or cold and have a somewhat acquired taste, some people love them and some don't like the smell.
The texture is somewhat rougher than most sausages, as the content is coarsely cut.
They are often boiled, barbecued or grilled.
