Andouillette

/ændwiːˈjɛt/ noun

Definition

A small, thin sausage made from pork intestines, very popular in French cuisine, known for its strong pungent odor.

Etymology

French double diminutive of 'andouille' (even smaller), using the suffix '-ette.' This represents the smallest version in the andouille sausage family.

Kelly Says

Andouillette has such a notoriously overpowering aroma that it inspired a famous French saying—French gourmands literally call it 'the test of true Parisian manhood' because tourists usually flee the smell before tasting it, but locals consider it a delicacy.
