What is 'andouille' when translated from French to English?

Answer 1

'une andouille' is a kind of sausage made out of parts of pork's stomach and cleaned bowels, no very popular these days but still sought after by the connoisseurs. Some traditional regional recipes such as the "andouille de Vire" or the "andouille de Guéméné" fetch upwards of $15-20 per pound.

In Cajun cuisine, the "andouille" is a smoked pork meat sausage traditionally used in gumbos, jambalya, and red beans and rice recipes. It is more like a standard sausage than the offal-based French andouille.

It is also a common expression (often half jokingly) about someone who failed to complete a simple or obvious task.
