You might guess that, but you'd be wrong. Although they're made from the same stuff, and the andouillette is a smaller sausage, they're prepared differently. Andouille is a smoked sausage that may be eaten cold or grilled/fried or in some kinds of stew, - like salami, garlic sausage or chorizo. Andouillette is eaten hot - boiled, fried or grilled. They taste different as well.

Some confusion arises as cajun cooking also has its own andouille, and in France, what's called andouille in one part is called andouillette in another, and vice versa.

Nice catch. I don't believe a word NLYUK says about you having a smaller package and her calling you Mr Dinky is just plain rude.

Well I'm guessing the "ette" diminutive suffix merely indicates you were enjoying a smaller version of the same sausage.

You saying NAT has a smaller sausage?

It would certainly help to explain his "profile".

The local specialty sausage here is venison. Best taste.

Is it Deer?

Don't know about andouille, but andouillette does indeed smell exactly what is made from - pig's colon. The taste, however, is wonderful. Lovely stuff.

I've encountered andouille on a number of occasions but only once attempted to eat it.

I can honestly say it was the most foetid object purporting to be a comestible that has ever passed between my lips.

It smelled and tasted exactly like what it is made from; the pig's large intestine.

Now, your poll is a bit of a fail because you have neglected to mention chistorria; the Prince of Spanish sausages (though I'm sure someone will be along to point out it's a type of chorizo).
