Also had some served to me that was cold and slightly pickled as part of a charcuterie plate in Lille. It smelled so vile I never got the courage up to put it in my mouth. The plate included some quite wonderful foie gras. What sort of nut job puts those two things on the same plate?
Oh, yes. Andouillette is one of those things you have to try - just to say you have. I do d it OK once I got over the overpowering stench of faeces.

I'd eat a hundred of them before I'd try tete de veau again, I'll tell you that. :shudder:
