Andouille
Spicy pork link
Andouille is a coarse-grained smoked sausage associated with Cajun and Creole cooking.
Made from pork, it's heavily spiced and essential to dishes like gumbo and jambalaya: The recipe calls for a pound of andouille.
The Louisiana version differs from its milder French ancestor, having developed a distinctly sharp, smoky character.
