alexpgpA receipt from Auchan, in Cavaillon, on the 20th of June, for:
1. Jambon cuit superieur à l'ancienne (0.282 kg at €9.99 per kilo: €2.82)
2. Veritable andouille de guemene (0.050 kg at €20.90 per kilo: €1.05)
The former was quite good; the latter was... interesting. The veritable andouille caught my eye in the display case because of its striking appearance, which is apparently the result of rolling the constituent meat out rather thinly and then rolling it tightly, so that the cross section of the sausage has a fine-grained spiral appearance. (And yes, I will confess that I was angling for a free taste when I asked for only a couple of slices of the andouille, but the gambit did not work.)
Later on during the trip, I picked up some ordinary andouille sausage (mistaking it for bratwurst, which makes a good case for actually reading the labels on stuff one buys), and while it wasn't at all bad if fried to within a centimeter of its life and served with eggs, I must confess that I did not develop a taste for either form of the sausage during the trip.
Cheers...
