Is that the Sausage the put in Jambalaya in New Orleans?

He said that one of his first jobs in the restaurant biz was cleaning the pig turds out of the intestines used to make that sausage. Blecch!</p> <p>had in my mind that it is aguillette, but that's a bit of military braid. Andouillette. In New Orleans, they have andouille, which is very nice and not disgusting at all. </p> <p><a href="http://unclestinky.wordpress.com/2008/01/14/andouillette-french-pig-colon-sausage/" rel="nofollow">http://unclestinky.wordpress.com/2008/01/14/andouillette-french-pig-colon-sausage/</a> </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37120#post-104725 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:11:06 +0000 beau-jolly 104725@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Wayland: You were lucky! Stopping for lunch by the Loire, I decided to order the local speciality, anuette(?). It was described as a local sausage but was actually a huge turd shaped piece of pig's bowel stuffed with chopped up pigs arse. When I cut into it it smelled like a sewer and tasted as if they had failed to wash all the shit out before cooking it. The dirty, as you said, bastards!<br /> The only other diner was a young man tucking into 3 courses and a half bottle of plonk before getting back into his 18 wheel articulated lorry. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37120#post-104668 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:42:26 +0000 Son of Barnabas 104668@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Now there's a cinematic opportunity that was sadly missed...

There’s a statue there of Bill the Conquerer which looks just like Kenneth Williams. And as for the tapestry, what is not often mentioned is that the nuns who embroidered it had very fertile imaginations - some of the dead knights are depicted with enormous cocks. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37120#post-104624 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 20:55:07 +0000 waylandsmithy 104624@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ironduke, Rouen is lovely, but I had the worst meal of my life there.</p> <p>I can't explain why the fuck I thought it would be good to go to a 'german' themed restaurant in France, but that's where I ended up. Knowing that my German/French is rough, I was fairly sure that something from the rump end of a pig would be delicious.</p> <p>The dirty bastards gave me a whole pig's tail on a bed of fermented cabbage.

We visited Rouen, they have a very artistic representation of flames twisting up into the sky on a building in the place where she was burnt. Having always felt we were the good-guys of World History (I wasn't erribly widely read!)I got my first little insight into how a German might feel visiting Coventry.</p> <p>2. At Rouen, we had quite the most marvellous lunch I;ve ever had. Set menu, a terrine to start, steak-frites for mains, a wonderful melting-centred chocolate pud, and a cheese board. The man next to us was taking his adult daughter for lunch, he chose a half bottle of white for his starter, a bottle of red for mains, brandy to finish as she said 'Jaime bien le camembert' to the waiter and got a huge heping. He caned every drop of the booze, and they clearly really enjoyed themselves. I learnt an awful lot that afternoon! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37120#post-104552 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:40:22 +0000 Al OPecia 104552@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Death by incendiary faggots, not a pleasant way to go. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37120#post-104523 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:54:56 +0000 John Ffitch-Rucker 104523@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>"may I suggest a novelty candle range to accompany the book"...<br /> that's not a book, it's a kindle. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37120#post-104497 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 14:42:53 +0000 cinquecento 104497@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>may I suggest a novelty candle range to accompany the book.. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37120#post-104465 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 13:49:19 +0000 Son of Barnabas 104465@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I believe Joan of Arc's last words were:<br /> "I know I said I'd like my stake well done, but this is ridiculous!"</p> <p>PS I always thought Joan of Ark was Noah's wife </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37120#post-104397 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:04:36 +0000 beau-jolly 104397@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Sure I saw her looking very old and haggard on a chat show recently - I may be thinking of Joan Collins... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=37120#post-104358 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 01:00:17 +0000 fernandomando 104358@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I found this joke on the internet when searching for 'Joan of Arc jokes':</p> <p>What's the difference between Joan of Arc and a canoe?
