show us a cross section of that before and after you fry it up

I am by no means versed in this but the andouille sausage I have bought, a few years ago traveling through Louisiana was almost mealy? Meaning soft texture. It was generally slightly strong flavor but subtle, if that makes any sense. I took a few coolers and loaded up with sausage, shrimp and mud bugs. I bought lots of different things from several spots, each one claimed to be the “1”. Lots of awesome scenery and lots of scary places but was an awesome trip. They all claimed to make the best “come back dip”. They say it’s meant to have you come back. Was awesome and the real Cajun folks will mesmerize you as they speak.

Will do.  Lets see how close mine is to some off the internet!

I find it funny, it tastes nothing like the small amount I fried yesterday, almost disappointed.  Kristin liked it.  Not sure what happened to the casing.  Has snap, but it is quite unappealing, way to chewy.  Maybe to long in smoke, or the bloom, which I have never liked and will probably drop from my repertoire!

I hate it when every thing goes right except one thing!

The End.  Now it is time to see some of your stories!

almost looks like kielbasa

Will get some tomorrow, at least it will give me an idea.  The little bit I cooked up yesterday tasted great, and since I dont know what it should taste like I guess these comments ring hollow.  But looking at stuff on line, theirs looks like ham stuffed in a hog casing!

The most obvious difference is pepper. IMO the packaged version is has much less heat.
