Tête de veau and andouillettes.

I'll try everything once but the first is just jelly with cartilage, reminding you it used to be a face.

The second is offal sausage that smells like the intestines weren't washed out properly.

    I ordered andouillette in a Paris restaurant once not knowing what it was. I had a little dictionary with me (pre-internet) that translated it as "chitterlings". I didn't know what that was either.

    Never again - it had chopped-up bits of rubbery guts on it that resisted chewing, it was vile.

    A good andouillette is fantastic, but I understand how it would sneak up on the unprepared foodie

    I love haggis, and that's all horrible bits and pieces cooked in a sheep stomach. No rubbery chunks though. I'll give andouillette another whirl next time I'm in Paris, maybe I got a dud.
