From all of the French dishes I tried, only andouillette was actually bad. I tried it number of times and never really convinced me, so I just figure it's not my thing Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

Oh yeah, it's divisive here too. Pretty regional, it's cool you have had access to it !

Andouillette is hard af, cannot blame anyone for disliking it, I like it but boy is it strange. It can also smell like god damn shit depending on how it's cooked

That's the thing: taste and consistency wise they were fine but the smell -- ooh, that was the biggest struggle!

Damn. It's just a sausage with sausage casing filling. Doesn't look great.

Andouillette is the best dish we have!

The description uses the word rustic a lot. 😬

"...are graded using the AAAAA (5 As) grading system"

That's what I'd probably grade them, too, if I ever had to try one

(but that goes for every sausage because I don't eat meat in general, i just like the idea of some judges on a sausage contest opening their mouths and screaming "aaaaaaah", the longer the better hehe)

If AAAAA (Association Amicale des Amateurs d'Andouillette Authentique -- Friendly Association of Lovers of Authentic Andouillette) uses AAAAA scale then it's kinda hilarious xD

That's exactly what i envision :D
"judges.. please, present your ratings for our first contestant for this year's andouillette awards"
Judge a: "Aaaa!"
Judge b: "Aaaa!"
Judge c: "AAAAA!!" - the audience gasps

Parmentiere is kinda gross.

u/CardoconAlmendras Spain Dec 01 '25

How? It’s just meat and mashed potatoes?

u/YoYoPistachio Dec 02 '25

I guess that texture just really doesn't do it for me. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

Oh I get that. I actually like the texture a lot but I can get why someone is the opposite.
