Pronunciation

The article says it's "(pronounced ã-doo-yet)". Is that correct? My basic French would have led me to call it "ã-dwee-yet" or something like that.

Is this a cajun thing? Or have I just forgotten how to pronounce french words?

This article seems to be rather lacking in objectivity where andouillette is concerned, written from the point of view of someone unfamiliar with this specialty. allolex 06:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also rather narrow in its choice of audience. Why is it important that it be acceptable to the American palate? evolvon 16:26, 16 October 2007 (GMT)

I've had andouillette and while it has a characteristic taste and texture, it didn't remind me of feces at all. In fact it was delicious. This article appears to have been largely written by people who hate the stuff, or who ate dodgy ones. Lexo (talk) 13:18, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While opinions do vary as to what the stuff smells like, a significant number of people do think it smells like feces. I appreciate Amabbett's effort to maintain a NPOV, but this popular conception bears mentioning despite any one person's opinion that it is false.

I had some last week. I'm not sure what it smells of, but it definitely smells very strong. -- lionfish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.212.60 (talk) 16:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is also probably worth mentioning that there are both French and Cajun styles, which differ significantly. Bjartmarr (talk) 08:16, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not wrong to mention that a lot of people find an andouillette disgusting. This is not also the case in the US, I think it applies to a very big part of the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.201.206.213 (talk) 22:20, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
