Why Is Andouille Sausage Called Andouille?
Andouille sausage gets its name from the French word “andouille” which means “chitterlings” or “intestines”. This is because traditionally, the sausage was made using pork chitterlings and intestines along with other pork cuts, spices, and seasonings. The sausage has a smoky, spicy taste and is popular in Cajun and Creole cuisine, especially in Louisiana.
