Every had Andouille ?
Andouille is not what it used to be. Health depts, at least in Louisiana, where it is hugely popular has force a change. Was a time when it,like Boudin, had hog blood in it. Hogs head cheese received its name because its brain matter was used. Not allowed anymore. I do eat Boudin a lot when I find it made to my taste which is mainly firm rice. Often the rice is mushy. Andouille when I can get it to cook Gumbo, Jambalaya, etc. Much easier to find when I lived around the Baton Rouge area. Tasso is also very good in those dishes.
In Europe it often has tripe, chitterlings, etc.
EDIT: I should have added that my comments for Boudin and Andouille are referring to what is sold to the public. I understand that any and everything goes depending upon what they do in their kitchens for private consumption.
